a.   many Japanese spend so much time at work that they do not have time to attend special events.
b.   many Japanese spend so much time at work that they don’t have time to develop friendships.
c.   the “fake” guests are a longstanding Japanese tradition, which villagers used to do for free but which now has become commercialized.
d.   the Japanese are very concerned with avoiding the public embarrassment of not having “enough” attendees at social events.
