It is acceptable to season your meal before tasting it, as long as you do not overdo it. 3) False. When someone asks you to pass the salt, you should only pass the salt. If they also want the pepper, they will ask for it separately. 4) True. It is considered impolite to drink with your mouth full. Take small sips and swallow your food before taking a drink. 5) True.
