6 do British people use “sorry” so much? Well, in the British culture, saying “sorry” is a way to
be polite, 7 to people whom they don’t know very well. It’s also a very smart way to get what they

mobile phones. When he walked to one group of strangers and asked them without apologizing first, he was only

When何时；Why为什么；How如何。根据“... do British people use‘sorry’so much? Well, in the British
culture, saying ‘sorry’ is a way to be polite ... ”可知，后文是解释原因，所以这里是提问“为什么”。故选
