Which description best characterize the British attitude toward tea making in the text?

• A. Flexible and casual
• B. Strict and traditional
• C. Indifferent
• D. Modernizing quickly

Answer: (B)

Tea making is presented as a ritual with established steps, careful attention to how tea should be brewed, and etiquette around serving. This shows a strict, traditional attitude: time-honored methods are valued and deviations are avoided. The other descriptions would imply a more casual, indifferent, or rapidly changing approach, which the text does not suggest.
