    The correct order to wash dishes is glass, silver, china, and kitchen utensils. This order is based on the delicacy and fragility of each item. Glassware should be washed first as it is the least likely to be contaminated by food residue. Silverware should be washed next as it can tarnish easily and should be handled gently. China should be washed third as it is also delicate and can easily chip or break. Finally, kitchen utensils can be washed last as they are typically more durable and can withstand harsher scrubbing.

    How often should you wash your hair? - ProProfs

    How often should you wash your hair?

    • Once a week

    • Once a day

    • Twice a month

    • Once a month

    Correct Answer
    A. Twice a month
    Explanation
    Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. Washing it once a week allows the oils to nourish the hair and scalp. However, going longer than a week without washing can cause a buildup of dirt, oil, and product, which can lead to scalp issues. Washing your hair twice a month strikes a balance between maintaining cleanliness and preserving the natural oils.

    • Food

    • Guests

    • Hostess

    • Table

    Correct Answer
    A. Table

Good table manners involve proper use of utensils, appropriate conversation, and respectful behavior towards others. Therefore, the correct answer is "Table."

    What are the three types of table service? - ProProfs

    What are the three types of table service?

    • English, Russian, compromise

    • Russian, English, French

    • English, French, mélangé

    • British, Russian, blended

    Correct Answer
    A. English, Russian, compromise
    Explanation
    The correct answer is English, Russian, compromise. This answer is correct because it accurately identifies the three types of table service. English table service is the most formal and involves the food being fully prepared and plated in the kitchen before being brought to the table. Russian table service involves the food being partially prepared in the kitchen and then finished at the table in front of the guests. Compromise table service is a combination of both English and Russian styles, where some dishes are fully prepared in the kitchen while others are finished at the table.

    How would you go about introducing your friend to your parents? - ProProfs

    How would you go about introducing your friend to your parents?

    • “Mother, I’d like to introduce you to my friend.” “Friend, this is my mother.” “Father, I’d like to introduce you to my friend.” “Friend, this is my father.”

    • “Mother and Father, this is my friend."

    • “Friend, I’d like to introduce you to mother and father.”

    • "Mother, this is my friend.” “Father, I’d like to introduce you to my friend."

    Correct Answer
    A. "Mother, this is my friend.” “Father, I’d like to introduce you to my friend."
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the most appropriate and polite way to introduce your friend to your parents. By addressing each parent individually and using the phrase "I'd like to introduce you to my friend," it shows respect and acknowledges the importance of the introduction. This approach also allows each parent to have their own personal interaction with the friend, rather than being introduced as a group.
