Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Marriage is a recognized union between two people, called spouses, which establishes rights and
obligations between them. Also known as matrimony or wedlock, this union can be recognized through social
norms and laws or a ritual, and it also accepts the indisputable rights that any children born or adopted within
that union have. People around the world have been performing marriage ceremonies for a long time, with each
culture adding something special and unique.
Celebrated with numerous rituals and ceremonies, Indian weddings last for days. The wedding starts with
pre-wedding ceremonies, such as the engagement ceremony, where the bride and the groom exchange rings. Then
there is the Mehendi Ceremony held at the bride's house, where her palms, wrists and feet are decorated for the
wedding. On the wedding day, the husband and wife put flower garlands around each other's necks, which
symbolizes the bride's acceptance of her husband. The traditional wedding is followed by many other traditions,
such as for example, stealing the groom's shoes. The bride's sisters play a trick by stealing the shoes once the
groom has entered the wedding tent, so the groom must bribe-hối lộ them in order to get his shoes back.
In Japan, wedding ceremonies are traditionally held in Shinto shrines. Painted white from head to toe, the
bride also wears a white kimono . During the ceremony, the bride puts on a white hood to hide her "horns of
jealousy" that she feels towards her mother-in-law. She declares herself a maiden, and promises to become a
gentle and obedient wife. Throughout the celebration, Japanese brides change their costumes several times, so
they also wear a red kimono, and a more modern dress. As a symbol of the newly established union, the happy
couple drinks sake, a Japanese alcoholic drink made from rice. In this tradition, known as san-san-kudo, the bride
and groom each take three sips from three different sake cups. Their parents do the same, which bonds their
families together.
