Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Be sure to understand cultural expectations. For example, a message that seems forthright and direct in a low-context culture might seem brash and intrusive in a high-context culture.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: If you are a highly regarded technical expert with years of experience, you might use the direct approach in a message to top executives. In contrast, if you aren't well known and therefore need to rely more on the strength of your message than the power of your reputation, the indirect approach will probably be more successful.
