Set-7
Read the passage below and answer questions:
In Kuwait, men and women wear their traditional dress most of the time. For men, this consists of a long robe and a piece of cloth covering the head. For women it is similar though generally they wear a veil. Foreign male visitors usually wear lightweight cotton trousers and white shirts with short or long sleeves. Men often wear sandals during the day though rarely in the office. They wear a jacket and tie for social occasions, but when it is really hot, it is usual to take off the jacket. Foreign women visitors usually wear long, loose clothing which cover their neck and arms. The Swedes are very interested in clothes and are less formal now than they were in the past. People usually dress well in public and wear bright colours. In Sweden, winters are very cold, so overcoats and ski jackets are common. Men wear business suits for work, with a shirt and a tie and women often wear trousers. People often carry a spare pair of shoes because they need boots outside. Children and teenagers are more casual than their parents. For school, they wear jeans and T-shirts. Traditional dress in India for women is the sari and for men the achkan suit. The sari has its own distinctive style depending on which part of India it comes from every region has its own special colours, patterns and style. The men wear heavy and expensive achkan suits on formal occasions but normally they wear the kurtha suit, a light, long, loose shirt and light trousers, Indian people wear lighter colours as they grow older, and at funerals, white is the usual colour to wear. Many people, however, wear western style clothes these days, particularly to work. Young people here too are as casual as young people all over the world with their jeans and T-shirts.
