Answer 1

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 Beyond Culture (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 Japan, Brazil, African tribal groups, Iraq, Iran, and most cultures in the Middle East.
