Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
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: C
Cultural heritage is learned patterns of behavior and thinking shared by a particular group that is transmitted over time to other members. Ancestral origins, a similar heritage, and physical characteristics may be shared traits but alone do not constitute cultural heritage.
