Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The equation for the benefits of love looks like this:
Benefits of love = emotional needs + entertainment needs + materialistic needs
Emotional needs include esteem needs, social needs, spiritual needs, and safety needs. Esteem needs refer to obtaining those things that make us happy and content, such as a family; social needs refer to the need for social acceptance, prestige, and access to certain people, events, and resources. Spiritual needs include feeling connected to a higher power than us, while safety needs include the size and quality of and access to our support network of family and friends.
Entertainment Needs are considered by Vuong to be, by and large, social aspects of day-to-day living and family life. Needs variables include hobbies, interests, and experiences that serve to provide automatic partners-by engaging in these activities, we are bound to meet potential love partners.
Materialistic Needs refer to those primary needs required for survival and happiness. These minimal needs include: food, water, shelter, and transportation.
Vuong also considers sexual needs to be a materialistic need. Materialistic desires are those things are not necessarily needed for survival or happiness, but that make life more enjoyable. Vuong terms these things, the finer things in life, and contends that if a person cannot satisfy these materialistic desires themselves, they will seek out someone who can and will.
