Correct Answer: friendly


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The adjective friendly is the correct choice in this context because it describes the nature of the relationship between the speaker and their father. "Friendly" means having a kind, pleasant, or amicable disposition towards someone, and it indicates that the father has a warm and affable relationship with the speaker.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Friends is a noun, not an adjective, and doesn't describe the father's behaviour.
  • Friendship is a noun and also doesn't describe the father's behaviour.
  • Friend-like is not a common phrase in English and doesn't convey the intended meaning of a warm relationship.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "My father is very friendly to me; we play football every evening."
