Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
Kerala is just the place for you if you love variety. There is something here to please everyone. You are sure to fall in love with the serene beauty of Kerala's magical backwaters. When you have experienced that, you can sample the excitement of Kerala's bustling cities or retreat into the villages to see at first-hand how time can stand still. Better still, take a trip to the spice gardens in the hills, to inhale the fragrance of fresh cardamoms if that makes your tastebuds tingle and fills you with dreams of food, you need not worry. Kerala's cuisine is known for its spicy hot flavours. The coconut and the spices give the food - especially the seafood a pungency that is enhanced by tamarind. Your meal would be incomplete without appam, rasam, fish curry and some delicious payasam. To wash it down, sip the naturally refreshing water of a tender coconut. And when you had your fill, move into the markets to shop for gold, handicrafts, spices, cashew nuts and coffee. Bargain-hunters will never have a problem since English is spoken and understood everywhere in Kerala.
