Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

There is a custom in Italy for young people to get engaged on Valentine's Day. Some shops sell baskets and cups which are filled with sweets and tied with ribbons. The young lovers offer these to each other as a sign of their love. In Korea, on February 14th, young women give sweets to their boyfriends, and on March 14th their boyfriends buy them chocolate. However, the young people who do not have a girlfriend or boyfriend can celebrate their own day on April 14th. On this special day, called "Black Day", these young people sit with their friends, who are in the same situation, and eat jajang noodles, which are black. This ensures that everyone has a day to celebrate. Most people in the United States take Valentine's Day as an opportunity to express their feelings towards their loved one or to offer the hand of friendship to others. However, it is popular on these days to send an "anti-Valentine" card. These cards either have an insulting message (to the person you hate) or say goodbye (to your current partner). If you receive a card with the message "C-Ya!" (See you), it means your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to end your relationship.
