B) ​The social context
C) ​The chronological context
D) ​The cultural context

Answer 1

Answer:

C) ​The chronological context

Explanation:

Chronological context refers to time related factors that affects affects communication. The effect could be favourable or unfavourable.

In this scenario because Andy had worked for a long time and he feels he is hard working, he feels he deserves a pay raise.

His need for a pay raise is time based. It is initiated by his length of service in the company. So this is a chronological context in which a time based factor affects communication between Andy and Anna.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is C. The chronological context.

Explanation:

The chronological context of interaction is simply used to describe the time related factors that could influence communication between individuals or companies.

This context takes into consideration, the time that a particular communication process is initiated.

For instance, is a particular communication process initiated during or after work hours? Is it made at a time when the company is going through major issues like a strike, or major losses?

From the scenario given above, we cab see that Andy decided to postpone his meeting with Anna, because the timing was not right, due to the fact that Anna was busy preparing for the annual board meeting.
