______.

1. a loyal friend can be trusted. friends share

______.

Explanation:

Question 1

To form the noun from the adjective "similar" using the suffix -ty or -ity, we add "ity" to "similar" (after adjusting the spelling: "similar" → "similarity"). So the noun form is "similarity", which fits the context of a likeness.

For the adjective "frail", we add the suffix "ity" (spelling adjustment: "frail" → "frailty"). The noun "frailty" means the quality of being frail, which matches the idea that something frail may break due to its frailty.

From the adjective "loyal", we form the noun by adding "ty" (spelling: "loyal" → "loyalty"). "Loyalty" represents the quality of being loyal, and it makes sense that friends share loyalty.

Answer:

similarity
