Every

day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in

full

force—both online and on foot—searching

frantically

for the perfect gift. Last year, Americans

spent

over $30 billion at retail stores in the month

of

December

alone. Aside from purchasing holiday

gifts,

most people regularly buy presents for other

occasions

throughout the year, including weddings,

birthdays,

anniversaries, graduations, and baby

showers.

This frequent experience of gift-giving can

engender

ambivalent feelings in gift-givers. Many

relish

the opportunity to buy presents because

gift-giving

offers a powerful means to build stronger

bonds

with one’s closest peers. At the same time,

many

dread the thought of buying gifts; they

worry

that

their purchases will disappoint rather than

delight

the intended recipients.

12. In line 10, the word “ambivalent” most nearly means

A) unrealistic.

B) conflicted.

C) apprehensive.

D) supportive.
