Read the passage and choose the best answer.

If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite behaviour. First of all, arrive

approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes

late. Dinner might be over-cooked and ruined by then. When you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it is polite to bring a small

gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive thing made in your native country, your host or hostess will

certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you do if you are served t some food that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do not make

a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are

enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not overstay your welcome, either. The next day, call or write a thank-you note

to say how much you enjoyed the evening.
