When making introductions, which rule is described?

• A. Women are introduced to men
• B. Adult men are introduced to adult women
• C. Children are introduced last
• D. Guests are introduced to hosts only

Answer: (B)

In introductions, the standard traditional etiquette is to present the man to the woman. This means you introduce the adult man to the adult woman, for example saying, “Ms. Smith, this is Mr. Jones.” It creates a smooth, respectful flow and aligns with longstanding social norms about how to handle mixed-gender introductions. The other options don’t follow this common pattern: the focus on children last, or on guests and hosts in a specific way, isn’t the typical universal rule, and reversing the order (introducing a woman to a man) would diverge from the usual convention.
