(1) 良いマナーやエチケットは、複雑ではありません。 特別なエチケットのルールを知らなくても、誰でも他人に対して礼儀や気配りを示すことができます　―　礼儀や気配りは良いマナーの要素と言えます。

(2) そして、誰もが、それらの規則を生まれながらに知っている訳ではありません。それらは、家庭、学校、職場、友人や知らない人との日常的な交際の中で、徐々に学ばれます。 良い交際についての彼らの知識を拡大するために、多くの人々が、大人としてエチケットの本を読み続けます。

(3) 人々が良いマナーやエチケットの規則を学びたいと思ういくつかの理由があります。 良いマナーは、友人を得る助けとなります。 当然、他の人々を親切に思いやりを持って扱う人々は、人から好かれる可能性が高くなります、なぜならば、彼らはよい友達だと思われるからです。

(4) 良いマナーは、また、家族、特別な友人、先生、雇い主、さらに、販売員や法務官のような知らない人をも喜ばせる助けとなります。良いマナーは人々を安心させ、彼らを協力的で、とても幸せな気分にするのに役立つのです。

(5) 良いマナーを実践して、エチケットの原則を理解する人々は、彼ら自身をも幸せにします。行儀良くふるまう方法を知っていることは、なじみのない状況でも、よく知っている状況でも、自信を持たせてくれます。 初めての人々に会ったり、初めての場所を訪問したりすることが、不安な経験ではなく、楽しい経験になるのです。

(6) 良いマナーは、家庭から始まります。 両親、兄弟姉妹が、お互いに対して礼儀正しくすれば、最も幼い子供たちでさえ、「お願いします」「有難う」と言うことをすぐに学びます。家族に対する尊敬は、様々な点で示されることができます。 食事の時間を守ること、お小遣いの取り扱いに責任を示すこと、所有物を適切に管理することは、すべて、家庭でのマナーの一部です。 プライバシーを尊重すること、家庭の雑用を分担すること、電話、テレビ、家族の車を譲り合って使うことも家庭でのマナーの一部なのです。

(7) 良いマナーは、学校でも同様に大切です。 授業を注意して聴き、きちんと整った宿題を提出することは、先生に対する尊敬を示す方法です。 他人より優れた知識や持ち物を「見せびらかす」のではなく、互いの持ち物を尊重することによって、そして、新しく来た生徒に歓迎されていると感じさせることによって、同級生は、お互いの思いやりを示すことができるのです。

(8) 仕事でも、良いマナーは、遅刻しないこと、信頼できること、仕事および個人の身だしなみの両方できちんとしていることを気にかけることを意味します。 他の従業員に対する心遣いは、職場の雰囲気を改善するのに役立ちます。 雇い主は、働く意欲、批評を受け入れる気持ち、秘密を守る能力を評価してくれます。

(9) 社会生活のどの様な状況でも、エチケットについての知識を必要とします。 たとえば、適切な紹介の仕方を知っていることは、パーティで混乱やきまりの悪い思いを避けるのに役立ちます。 メニューからの注文の仕方や、誰にいくらぐらいチップをすべきか知っていることは、デートをスムーズに運ぶのに役立ちます。

(F) イ whom
☆ whom to tip（誰にチップを払うべきか）how much to tip（いくらチップを払うべきか）が、一つに合わさって使われています。

<補足>
manner は、通例単数形で「方法、仕方」、複数形で「行儀、作法」と言う意味になります。他の用法もあって、けっこう使い方がややこしいので、注意が必要です。

回答ありがとうございました。
自信はあった方ですが、思ったより間違っていました。
特に最後の(F)が含まれる文の構造が分からなかったのですが、whom～(誰に)とhow much～(いくら)が融合した形だとは気づきませんでした。
また、mannerの用法も一度確認してみます。
