• B. Incorrect = one another, Correct = each other
• C. Incorrect= one another, correct= the other
• D. Incorrect= were, correct= are

Answer 1

The correct option is B Incorrect = one another, Correct = each other

The sentence mentions two people who are good friends. While talking about feelings between two people, the reciprocal pronoun 'each other' is used because it is between only two people. When speaking about more than two people, 'one another' is used.

Therefore, the phrase 'each other' should be used instead of the phrase 'one another'.

So, the correct answer is option B).
