Suggestions for communicating with people from different cultures can be which of the following?
1.Emphasise your own interpretation
2.Forget your own cultural identity
3.Promote an eco-system of mutual respect
4.Know the cultural context of other people
5.Always state facts
A1, 2 & 3 only
B3, 4 & 5 only ✓ Correct
C2, 3 & 5 only
D1, 4 & 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 3, 4 & 5 only
Explanation
Sound cross-cultural advice is to promote mutual respect, know others' cultural context, and always state facts.
Statement 3 holds because an ecosystem of mutual respect eases exchange across cultures.
Statement 4 holds because knowing the other's cultural context prevents misreading.
Statement 5 holds because stating facts avoids distortion and bias in the message.
Statement 1 fails since pushing your own interpretation blocks understanding rather than aiding it.
Statement 2 fails because forgetting your own cultural identity is neither needed nor helpful.
