B) Cook dinner together
C) Go the movies
D) Introduce him to potential new friends

B

Accepted Answer

Cooking dinner together allows for a shared task and an opportunity for conversation and bonding. It also provides a chance for both Ed and his girlfriend to practice communication and teamwork skills. Attending a sporting game or going to the movies may not allow for as much interaction and may not facilitate a deeper connection between them.
