Where should you place your silverware when you need to speak?

  1. On the table

  2. On your lap

  3. On your plate

  4. In your mouth

The correct answer is: On your plate

When you need to speak during a meal, placing your silverware on your plate is the appropriate action. This signals to others that you are temporarily stepping away from eating, allowing for clear communication without the distraction or potential mess of holding utensils. It also helps maintain cleanliness on the table and ensures that your silverware is in a designated area, reducing the risk of it falling or being knocked off the table. Choosing to place silverware on the table or in your lap could lead to confusion or indicate that you are done eating, which may not be the message you intend to convey. Additionally, placing silverware in your mouth is inappropriate and unhygienic, making it a clear choice to avoid in any dining situation.
