Para-jumble (politeness across cultures): Arrange the sentences to argue that politeness is universal though its expressions vary by country. S1 = "Politeness is not a quality possessed by only one nation or race." S6 = "In any case, we should not mock at others habits." Between S1 and S6, place the fragments to show universality → examples → explanation: P = "One may observe that a man of one nation will remove his hat or fold his hands by way of greetings when he meets someone he knows." Q = "A man of another country will not to do so." R = "It is a quality to be found among all peoples and nations in every corner of the earth." S = "Obviously, each person follows the custom of his particular country." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
