decline the offer and leave immediately.

eat their meal on the floor to show respect for the host.

take over the cooking and serve themselves first.

decline the offer a few times before finally accepting.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option D.  In most of the cases, guests will politely decline the offer a few times before finally accepting.   In Puerto Rico if a guest visits someone's house, it is the responsibility of the hosts to ensure that the visit is conducted in a relaxed atmosphere.   Most of the visits are arranged in the evening time where the entire family can sit together.

In most cases, guests will politely decline the offer a few times before finally accepting.  

However, the host will politely force the visitor as it is considered rude to eat while your guest is not eating the meal.
