Would you describe someone as exhibiting refinement if, at dinner, he or she slurped the soup? explain

The correct answer is: No, slurping the soup is not considered as refined.

Explanation:

When sitting in a table to eat with company it is polite and refined to make the  least possible sound in order to avoid irritating the other person or persons and to manifesting a civil and graciously way to eat.

This is the first reason why slurping the soup it is seen as unrefined, for this is an action of soaking a liquid noisily, which is rude because slurping it is literally making noises with your mouth while taking food to your mouth.

But there is a second reason, which is that using cutlery for food in a gracious way it is a manifestation of graciousness and civility for you do not eat like an animal but as a person with manners. So, as soup is not a drink it should not be taken directly from the plate slurping from it (as drinks are taken directly from glasses), but instead it is polite to use a spoon to eat the content of the plate (soup), avoiding drops and sounds that could be rude to companions.

No, since refining involves removing undesirable things, and sipping the soup is undesirable.
