OE
You are told that, for Americans, familiarity follows from “close proximity.” The blank should be a synonym for proximity, and propinquity is. The other answer choices all deal with comfort or friendliness, and thus are theme traps drawing on associations with “neighborly”: commodiousness (spaciousness), amiability (friendliness), reciprocity (relationship with mutual exchange of favors or benefits), and cordiality (amity).
Answer: D
