Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) In a high-context culture, words are less important than the context in which they are spoken. A high-context culture uses circumstances to add meaning to words, building a web of meaning around the words. The listener is expected to use the entire web of meaning to come to a unique and unambiguous understanding of what is being said.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Communication exists in a cultural context: the patterns of physical cues, environmental stimuli, and implicit understanding that convey meaning between two members of the same culture.
