Question

Excerpt from Frost’s Laws and Bylaws of American Society

Sarah Annie Frost

A gentleman or a lady will always say "Thank you" to a waiter, but nothing more.

Wine should be handed by the waiters after soup. To decline wine by covering the mouth of the wine-glass with the hand is an ill- bred gesture. Say simply "Not any, thank you," and the waiter will not fill your glass.

Do not eat as if you had good fare for the first time in your life--that is to say, do not eat ravenously, and do not eat in a noticeable way.

Never smack the lips when eating. Never take a long, deep breath after you finish eating, as if the exercise had fatigued you.

Never make noises in your mouth or throat.

Never suck your teeth, or pass your tongue round the outside of your gums.

Answer 2

D) The passage gives advice to guests about things that should and should not be done at a dinner party.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D because the passage mentions tips to behave properly during a dinner like saying Thank you and never make noises in your mouth.

The other options are not correct because the passage never mentions invitations, doesn't talk about types of people and doesn't mention anything about food or healthy meals.
