Every person has his/her own choices, likes and dislikes. Students are advised to answer the question based on their interpretation and personal experience. As humans, we all have our personal favourites based on our perception and situation in life. It is therefore, not wrong to like some person more than others.

1. A parent or caregiver’s love for a newborn baby, for a mentally or physically challenged child, for a clever child or a prodigy reflects their attentiveness and concern for them.
2. The public’s love for a film star, a sportsperson, a politician or a social worker reflects our admiration and being awestruck about their personality.
3. Your love for a friend or brother or sister reflects your love, compassion, empathy and a feeling of togetherness for them.
4. Your love for a pet, and the pet’s love for you reflects the unconditional and selfless love towards each other.
