Part 2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the
physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or
formal; and certain standards that are more universal. In other words, some standards of
etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper
etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require
instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example,
while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in
a more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck
your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior
would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every
restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion
we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants
determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants.
