The meaning of the metaphor in this sentence is that the blanket was old and worn but still warm and it is being compared to what it is like to hug an older friend.
Yes, because the act of being selfish is something we do to keep ourself alive, if we were constantly selfless we would not be ensured of our own survival.

Fries's Structure of English, language teachers have described English words as falling into two broad types: those that belong in the dictionary like 'storm' and 'confabulate', called content or lexical words, and those that belong in the grammar like 'of' and 'the', called structure, function or grammatical words.
tl;dr: Structural Words are the meaningless little words in a sentence that make it flow or move from one important word to the next.
To comprehend let’s assume:<span>
<span>100 relatives as 100 tiles
Now, 90 Dutch people fills 90 tiles.
Since we require minimum common people as the question
suggests we need to make common tiles less in Number. </span></span>
<span>
80 German people fills 10 empty tiles and 70 Dutch people tile.
<span>Now 10 German tiles, 20 Dutch tiles and 70 common tiles.
Again do the same, fill non common tiles first with English. i.e.
10 German + English, 20 Dutch + English.
So only 45 Dutch + German + English.
</span></span>
<span>Hence 45 is the answer.</span>
