Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Cultures can differ widely and vary in their rate of change, degree of complexity, and tolerance toward outsiders. These differences affect the level of trust and openness that can be achieved when communicating with people of other cultures. At both the national level and within smaller groups, cultures vary on how open they are to accepting people from other cultures and people who do not necessarily fit the prevailing norms within the culture. An unwillingness to accommodate others can range from outright exclusion to subtle pressures to conform to majority expectations. U.S. workers typically prefer an open and direct communication style.
