Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Arguing to get a point across is more characteristic of the communication of a person from a low-context culture. A person from a high-context culture would not be expected to dispute a person with authority. The person from a high-context culture would be expected to use global communication and nonverbal symbolization but to make little direct eye contact,

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Asian and Asian-American clients have been socialized into high-context cultures in which there is collective identity, group decision making, emotional dependence, deference to those of higher status and age, and use of indirect language to communicate. Options 2, 3, and 4 are characteris-tic of low-context cultures.
