Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Noise refers to anything that can distort the message being communicated. For an international student studying business in the United States, noise may include:
1 Cultural differences  Aleksey is from an Eastern European country where there is no history of capitalism or a free-market economy. This concept may be difficult for him to comprehend.
2 Language  Although many Eastern Europeans have learned English as a second language, the language is not uniformly used. Words are pronounced differently and often have different meanings throughout the English-speaking world. Aleksey may have difficulty understanding fast-paced lectures. He may also have difficulty participating fully in team-based projects.
3 Non-verbal  Aleksey will possibly misinterpret many non-verbal cues, including cultural norms, body language, and informal professor/student interactions.
