    Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions that follows.
    While it is true that there is no law that compels us to say please, there is a social practice much older and much more sacred than any law which enjoins us to be civil. And the first requirement of civility is that we should acknowledge a service. "Please and Thank you" are the small exchanges with which we pay our way as social beings. They are the little courtesies by which we keep the machine of life oiled and running smoothly. They put intercourse upon the basis of a friendly cooperation, and easy give and take instead of on the basis of superiors dictating to inferiors. It is a very vulgar mind that would wish to command where he can have the service for the asking and have it with willingness and good feeling instead of resentment.
    The writer thinks that:
     

    A) courtesies make life oily and sticky.

    C) courtesies make life pleasant.

    D) courtesies make life mechanical.

    E) None of these
