How many roommates does the candidate currently have, and what is their relationship to the second roommate?

• A. Two roommates: one they have known for a long time, and one they met after moving to college
• B. One roommate: met in high school
• C. Two roommates: both coworkers from a previous job
• D. Three roommates: all from clubs

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is to interpret both how many people live with the candidate now and how their relationship to the second roommate is described. The correct choice says there are two roommates: one they have known for a long time, and the other they met after moving to college. This fits a common pattern where a long-time acquaintance shares a living space alongside a newer roommate encountered when starting college.

Other descriptions would change either the number of roommates or the nature of the second roommate’s connection, which would not align with the stated details—for example, having one roommate with a high school connection, or three roommates all from clubs, or two roommates who are coworkers from a previous job.
