Answer:
proximity
Explanation:
Proximity refers to how physically near one person is from another, which has an impact on how attractive that person is as a relational partner. Thus, as regards interpersonal relationships, the interconnection and interdependence between two individuals have been made closer in space and time due to technological and communicational advances.
The correct answer is the role of adjective. Both non-finite verbs can perform the role of adjective in a sentence. The following examples show this role:
Present participle as adjective, which can be recognized from its "-ing" ending:
Look at the <u>reading</u> boy.
Past participle as adjective, which are formed by adding "-ed" to the verb:
Look at the <u>washed</u> car.
