Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
A housewarming party is a party held on the occasion of moving into a new residence when a person, couple, or family moves ‘nto a new house or apartment. It is an occasion for the hosts to present their new home to their friends, and for friends to gather, socialize, and enjoy refreshments such as alcoholic drinks and snack foods. Some people invite all of their new neighbors to their housewarming. This allows the hosts to meet their new community. In some cases, the friends and family members who are invited may bring gifts to furnish the new home. Gifts are customary but not necessary. They usually consist of something for the new house, such as a potted plant, a vase, or a picture frame, or something to be enjoyed during the party such as a bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers, or a Gift basket of foodstuffs.
