One day Anansi picked some tasty yams from his garden and baked them with much care. ‘Umm, they smell delicious!’ said Anansi, as he laid a plate, a knife and a fork on his table. Just then there was a knock at his door. Anansi peeked out of the window and saw Turtle. Anansi frowned.
Turtle had been travelling all day. His feet were sore, his eyes were dusty, his stomach was empty and he was parched. However, his nose had told him that Anansi was home and cooking yams for dinner, and so, Turtle proceeded up the walk to his friend’s house. ‘Hello, Anansi,’ said Turtle politely. ‘I have been walking for so long and I smelled the delicious yams. Would you be so kind as to share your meal with me?’
Anansi felt defeated. There was nothing he could do but welcome Turtle to his house, as it was the custom in his country to share meals with visitors at mealtime. But Anansi was not happy. ‘Please come in, Turtle,’ said Anansi. ‘I would be honoured to have you as my guest this evening. Sit down and help yourself.’
But just as Turtle crawled up to the table and placed a napkin on his lap, Anansi had a brainwave and he shouted out. ‘Wait! In my culture, a guest is expected to come to the table with clean hands. Go down to the stream and wash up.’
Well, of course Turtle’s hands were dirty. He’d been crawling on them all day. So he trekked down to the stream behind Anansi’s house to wash. Turtle cleaned his feet as well. He walked all the way back up and found that Anansi had already begun to eat. Anansi said that he did not want the yams to get cold and asked Turtle to join him.
Turtle sat down and reached for a yam but Anansi yelled at him. He pointed out that Turtle’s hands were still dirty. Turtle realised that his hands had turned dirty once more, since he had to crawl on them to return to Anansi’s house. He walked to the stream once more, cleaned himself, and walked back carefully so his hands would stay clean. But by the time he sat down at the table, Anansi had finished up the last bit of the tasty yams and not so much as a morsel was left.
A. What evidence do we get from the first paragraph of the passage which tells us that Anansi loved to eat ceremoniously? (1)

Answer:
The evidence that we get is when turtle came to Anansi house and for yams to eat because his stomach was empty. At that time Anansi was very sad to give him the yams.
