AMost of the information is unspoken
BMost of the information is explicitly stated in a verbal message ✓ Correct
CMost of the information is apparent from the setting
DMost of the information is non-existent
Correct answer: (B) Most of the information is explicitly stated in a verbal message — In a low-context culture most information is explicitly stated in the verbal message, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★In a low-context culture most information is explicitly stated in the verbal message, so that is the answer.
★Low-context communication relies on the words themselves.
★Meaning is spelt out clearly rather than left to the setting.
★So most of the information is put into the explicit verbal message.
★Leaving information unspoken describes a high-context culture instead.
★So a low-context culture states most information explicitly in words.
