[Lê Quỳnh Anh]

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34

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 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

Đáp án B

- Rustic ~ Unsophisticated (adj); đơn giản, không phức tạp, mộc mạc

- Urban (adj): (thuộc) thành phố, thành thị

- Agricultural (adj): (thuộc) nông nghiệp

- Ancient (adj): cổ xưa

“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.” (Và nếu bạn đang ăn ở một nơi đơn giản mộc mạc thì việc bỏ khăn ăn vào áo có thể chấp nhận được, nhưng nếu bạn đang ở một nhà hàng thành thị phức tạp thì hành vi này sẽ thể hiện bạn không biết cách ứng xử)

Nhận xét: Ở phía sau có liên từ “but” nên ý cùa 2 câu này trái ngược nhau; mà phía sau có từ “sophisticated” thì phía trước từ “rustic” sẽ có nghĩa trái ngược với nó
