Question

Choose the most appropriate title for this passage:

• A. 'Etiquettes and Manners'
• B. 'Western Etiquette'
• C. 'Etiquette and Culture'
• D. 'Importance of Etiquette'

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

'Etiquette and Culture'

The given passage focuses on two main points, Etiquette:
"Etiquette is the unwritten code that governs social behaviour. Etiquette reflects formulas of conduct in which society or tradition have invested."
and its relation with Culture:
"Etiquette is dependent on culture; what is excellent etiquette in one society may shock in another. Etiquette can vary widely between different cultures and nations."
Hence, the most appropriate title for this passage would be 'Etiquette and Culture'. So, option C is correct.
Option A: 'Etiquette' and 'manners' almost mean the same thing. Moreover, 'manners' is not mentioned in the passage.
Option B: 'Western Etiquette' is mentioned only in the beginning. The passage focuses more on etiquette in different cultures.
Option D: The 'Importance of Etiquette' is not the crux of this passage.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
