Read the passage below and answer the questions 2 and 3: We have two terms to describe our social behaviour- 'etiquette' and 'manners.' 'Etiquette' is a French word and it means the rules of correct behaviour in society. The word 'manners' means the behaviour that is considered to be polite in a particular society or culture. Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad manner to speak with food in one's mouth. No one likes a bad-mannered person. Remember that etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from society to society.We learn etiquette and manners from our parents, families and various institutions, such as schools, colleges or professional bodies. There are rules of behaviour for all kinds of social occasions and it is important to learn them a practise them in everyday life. The manners that are correct in a wedding reception will not do in a debating club.Therefore, we have to be careful about etiquette and manners. We know how important it is to say 'please' and 'thank you' in everyday life. A few more polite expressions such as 'pardon me', 'excuse me', 'may I', are bound to make your day smooth and pleasant.  2 \boxed{\mathbf{~2~}}Answer the following questions:(a) What does the word 'etiquette' mean?(b) What does the word 'manners' refer to?(c) From where do we learn manners?(d) Give an example of a bad manner.\\  3 \boxed{\mathbf{~3~}} Read the text above and write the synonym or antonym of the words as directed.
