Question

Choose the best answer from the options given below:
You are paying for your lunch at a restaurant. The waiter gives you a bill for Rs 960. You will say "_____________."

• A. Here you are (giving Rs 1000). Keep the change
• B. I always give a tip to a good waiter
• C. I never expected that the amount would come to this
• D. Take it and leave

Answer 1

The correct option is A Here you are (giving Rs 1000). Keep the change

Option A: The expression 'Here you are' means that the speaker has given something or done a favour to someone. It is a subtle way of communicating that the speaker is doing a favour by tipping the waiter but not expressing it in an explicit, egoistic way. Hence, option A is correct.

Option B: This expression is boastful where the speaker tries to focus on his generosity. Helping someone (like tipping a waiter) needs to be done subtly without embarrassing the receiver or being boastful. Hence, this option is incorrect.

In option C, the expression conveys reluctance in paying the money for the food eaten. The expressions in options C and D are rude and unacceptable. Hence, these options are incorrect.
