Read the following passage and choose the best answer for 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 15 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.
