Answer 1

• Final answer:
• The correct possessive form for 'neighbor' in the context given is 'neighbor's'. It shows ownership or a relationship to the neighbor who lives next door. Proximity is a key factor in forming friendships which makes the next door neighbor likely to become a friend after moving to a new apartment.
• Step-by-step explanation:
• The correct possessive form of 'neighbor' when you want to say that something belongs to the neighbor is C) neighbor's. For example, 'He found his neighbor's appearance to be attractive.' This possessive form is used to show that the appearance belongs to one neighbor who lives next door. The same possessive 'neighbor's' would be used when talking about the 'neighbor's dog' as seen in the context of someone seeing their neighbor walking their dog in the morning.
• Also, research on social relationships suggests that proximity leads to greater likelihood of forming friendships. Therefore, after moving to a new apartment building, Sam would most likely become friends with a) his next door neighbor due to their close physical proximity.
