Answer 1

Answer:

1) people rely more on nonverbal circumstances and cues to convey meaning.

Explanation:

In low-context cultures, people are more straightforward, truly saying what they mean. Their words and behaviors are more explicit, negotiation tends to be more aggressive. On the other hand, high-context cultures value the collective more than the individual. That means people in such cultures are more careful with their words, communicating widely through the use of contextual elements such as body language, tone of voice, gestures etc. In other words, in high-context cultures, people rely more on nonverbal circumstances and cues to convey meaning, which is precisely what is said in number 1.
