When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 【22】embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【23】the truth of this.

The man in the street seems to be as accurate — or as inaccurate — as the weathermen in his【34】.

It is a safe subject which will【40】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
