Answers:  A, C and D

Australia:

If there is a counter situation (in a restaurant), Australians queue up or stand in line for service, or defer to people they know were there before them.

China:

Chinese do not form queues. They accept being crowded together and will often use their bodies to push and shove in a crowd, but they are uneasy about being touched with a hand. Touching indicates considerable familiarity.

Ireland:

The Irish wait in line, also known as queueing, patiently and in an orderly fashion.

United Kingdom:

Some general rules of personal conduct follow.  Be ready to stand in lines - queues - for anything from groceries to train tickets to newspapers. Do not "jump the queue" - cut in.
