Help please!

Answer 1

D. Arif and Nick like to spend time together.
Since Arif says, "Sound good" we can assume that he wants to go to the concert with Nick and Ali. This means that he likes to hang out with them.

Answer 2

D. Arif and Nick like to spend time together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text makes it clear that Arif and Nick are friends and like to spend time together, otherwise Nick would not have offered his extra ticket to Arif so they could go the concert together and spend time as good friends. In addition, Arif agrees to go to the concert with Nick, showing once again that nick is a nice person with whom Arif likes to spend time together.
