Answer:
The correct answer is High-context cultures.
Explanation:
High-context cultures are those cultures where the use of contextual elements communication is mainly used and is implicitly stated. The tone of voice or body language are clear examples of those contextual elements. The concept was proposed by anthropologist Edward T. Hall (1914-2009) in his book <em>Beyond Culture</em> (1976).
The members of high-context cultures have close, long-lasting relationships that allows them to know each other so the rules for their communication do not have to be explicitly stated. Examples of high-context cultures are <em>Japan, Brazil, African tribal groups, Iraq, Iran, and most cultures in the Middle East</em>.
Explanation:
The railroad felt that the demand for passenger service was inelastic and opponents of the rate increase felt it was inelastic.
Inelastic demand is used in economics to give the idea that consumers buy or use same amount of the product irrespective of the increase or decrease in the price of the product.
So in this situation, the opponent wanted to say that same number of people will travel by rail no matter if the price of the tickets will increase or decrease. The passenger service will be inelastic.
So the answer is "the railroad felt that the demand for passenger service was inelastic and opponents of the rate increase felt it was inelastic".
