Read the following passage and choose the most appropriate answer from a,b,c or d to answer questions 
BRITISH POLITENESS
Do you, learners of English, ever wonder whether repeating and trying to remember various everyday expressions, such as ‘Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest taxi rank is?’ has any value other than in exams? Well, I must admit that such thing didn’t cross my mind until last February when I got a letter from the British Council, saying that I had won a language course in England.
The polite question mentioned was the one I had to ask on arrrival in Parkston, a picturesque part of Poole with lot of semi-detached houses on either side of each street. What struck me most was the kindness of an old lady, who happened to leave Safeway’s just after my getting off the coach. Not only did she show me where to phone for a taxi, but she also gave me a hand with the laggage. I was really surprised, too, when the taxi driver got out of the car and helped me put the bags into the boot. I immediately thought of Polish taxi drivers who usually do not make the slightest effor to help you, apart from pressing the right button and waiting for the boot to open. In spite of the steroetypes about reluctance towards foreigners, the English turn out to be an etreme polite and open nation.
