Answer:
D. Change the semicolon to a colon.
Explanation:
The colon is a punctuation mark that is not used much. But it helps in listing items. It is used majorly when the sentence contains or introduces a list that is important for the sentence.
In the given sentence, <em>"exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate" </em>are the list of things that comprise Naia's family's New Year's Eve tradition. Therefore, they will be introduced by a colon instead of a semicolon.
Thus, the final sentence will become-
<em><u>Naia's family has several New Year's Eve traditions; exchanging gifts, cleaning the house, and watching The Irony of Fate</u></em>.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Answer:
High-context.
Explanation:
'High-Context' communicative cultures heavily rely on contextual or implicit meanings(through gestures, body language, context) in the communication that needs to be inferred by the listeners which is direct in contrast to the low-context communication cultures where the information is verbally or explicitly stated as the people(communicators) lack knowledge.
As per the question, 'high-context' communication would be characterized as indirect or implicit as plenty of meaning or information is internalized that requires prior knowledge to infer the message suggested or implied. Therefore, they lay more emphasis on gestures instead of direct verbal communication of the message. Thus, <u>'high-context'</u> is the answer.
