[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine the meaning of the underlined word "platonic," you can use context clues. In this passage, the author mentions that Keisha's friend was a boy and that the author assumed he was her boyfriend. Keisha then clarified that they were "just friends." From this information, you can infer that the word "platonic" means non-romantic, as it refers to a relationship that is not romantic or based on romantic feelings. Therefore, the correct answer is "non-romantic."
