Q. 5. Reader the following passage and answer the questions. (3+3+3+10)
The host as guest is far, far worse than the guest as host. He never even passes muster. The guest,
in virtue of a certain habit that is part of his natural equipment, can more or less ape the ways of
a host. But the host, with his more positive temperament, does not even attempt the graces of a
guest. By "graces" I do not mean to imply anything artificial. The guest's manners are, rather, as
wild flowers springing from good rich soil the soil of genuine modesty and gratitude. He
honorably wishes to please in return for the pleasure he is receiving. He wonders that people
should be so kind to him, and, without knowing it, is very kind to them. But the host, as I said
earlier in this essay, is a guest against his own will. That is the root of the mischief. He feels that
it is more blessed, etc., and that he is conferring rather than accepting a favor. He does not adjust
himself. He forgets his place. He leads the conversation. He tries genially to draw you out. He
never comments on the goodness of the wine. He looks at his watch abruptly and says he must be
off. He doesn't say he has had a delightful time. In fact, his place is at the head of his own table.
