The correct answer is A)  The name of the product, when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning.

Explanation:

In business, communication problems can emerge due to a difference in language that prevents the business from communicating appropriately its purpose, name, slogan, and from advertising its products. This mainly occurs if the translation does not reflect the original meaning or there are cultural features that create a barrier.

This situation occurs in "The name of the product when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning" because due to the lack of experience of the manager in Greece and the differences in language, she does not know how to communicate in Greek the name of the company, which creates a communicative barrier as Greek customers will not understanding the real meaning of the company.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Substancial performance is a terminology used in contract law.

Which of the following would be an example of mechanical convection?
sdas [7]

Hi!


Option A is correct.


In cooking, convection is the phenomena that causes molecules with a higher energy at the bottom of a container to travel upwards, and the molecules at the top with a lower energy to sink to the bottom and replace them.

Mechanical convection describes this phenomena as a result of the application of an external force.

This phenomena is restricted to substances that are in liquid, or gaseous state, as molecules of a substance in solid state have a very restricted movement.

Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.


Hope this helps!
