Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Your mom tells you to put on your hat and gloves. But as the cold winter season gets closer, it's so cold that even mom's advice does not work. That means it's time to put on your qiuku!

In the US, it gets quite cold and snowy in many places. And while parents often push kids to wear more clothes and long underwear, _ Part of the reason might be because it's not very fashionable and another reason might be because people don't spend much time outside during the cold months. So they just deal with the freezing temperatures when they have to leave the warm building. But in their parents' eyes, staying warm is more important than looking nice. Question: People wear qiuku to be _ . - fashionable - popular - friendly - Warm
(Answer)
Warm
