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.
