  • 2. 

    A napkin should be left on your lap:

    • Only when you are eating.

    • For as long as your host has a napkin on her lap.

    • Just for the main course.

    • For the entire meal.

    Correct Answer
    A. For the entire meal.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "For the entire meal." This means that a napkin should be left on your lap from the beginning of the meal until the end. It is considered proper etiquette to keep the napkin on your lap to protect your clothing and to use it as needed throughout the entire meal, not just during specific courses or when your host has a napkin on their lap.

    Hold a glass of white wine by:

    • The base of the bowl.

    • The Stem.

    • Whatever is comfortable for you.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Stem.
    Explanation
    When holding a glass of white wine, it is best to hold it by the stem. This is because holding the glass by the bowl can transfer heat from your hand to the wine, which can affect its temperature. Additionally, holding the stem prevents fingerprints on the bowl, allowing the wine to be visually appealing. Holding the glass by the stem also ensures that the wine remains at the desired temperature for a longer period of time.

    At a formal dinner, the salad fork should be placed:

    • Next to the soup spoon.

    • To the left of the butter knife.

    • To the right of the butter knife.

    • Besides the plate when the course is served.

    Correct Answer
    A. Besides the plate when the course is served.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is besides the plate when the course is served. This is because traditionally, the salad fork is not placed on the table until the salad course is served. It is considered proper etiquette to set the table with only the necessary utensils for each course, and the salad fork is not needed until the salad is served. Therefore, it is placed besides the plate when the course is served.

    At an informal gathering, the host serves dishes to their:

    • Left

    • Right

    • There is no set rule.

    • The host does not begin serving the meal.

    Correct Answer
    A. Right
    Explanation
    At an informal gathering, the host serves dishes to their right. This suggests that the host follows a specific etiquette where they start serving the person sitting on their right and continue in a clockwise direction. This is a common practice in many cultures and social settings, as it helps maintain order and ensures that everyone is served in a systematic manner.

    Asparagus should be eaten with:

    • Your fingers.

    • Whatever way is comfortable to you.

    • A knife and fork.

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because there is no specific rule or etiquette that dictates how asparagus should be eaten. It can be eaten with fingers, as it is often served as finger food. Alternatively, it can also be eaten with a knife and fork, especially when served as part of a formal meal. Ultimately, it is up to personal preference and what is most comfortable for the individual.
