Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly by saying that your family taught you politeness.

Polite is an adjective, so the adverb politely is needed to describe how we treat people. Calmly is more appropriate than quickly for describing polite behavior.

Respond is normally followed by the preposition to. Angrily is the adverb needed to describe how someone responds. Should not is suitable because the speaker is describing appropriate behavior.
