Solution

The statement that best explains why people we know casually at work or school could be characterized by breadth of disclosure but very little depth, while our disclosure with close friendships involves higher levels of breadth and depth is: "Self-disclosure varies among relationships." This is because the level and depth of self-disclosure often depends on the type of relationship we have with the person. In casual relationships, we may not feel as comfortable sharing personal information, while in close friendships, we are more likely to share more personal and deeper information.
