Directions: Read the passage and choose the best answer for the questions that follow.
As well as different kinds of physical greetings, different phrases are used to say hello and goodbye in different cultures. For example, in China, someone might ask whether you’ve already eaten. They aren’t inviting you for dinner, but just saying “hello.” During Divali, the most important Hindu festival, Indians might greet their fellow celebrants with the expression “Have you bathed in the Ganges, yet?” as the Ganges is considered a holy river and to bathe in it is to be blessed. As for saying “goodbye,” visitors to North America can often be confused by phrases such as “Let’s do lunch”or “We’ll have to get together soon.” Neither of these are actual offers or invitations to meet, but just ways to say goodbye. In Japan, when a worker leaves to go home, rather than saying goodbye, his or her colleagues will usually simply say “You’re tired.” 17.
