Which culture is described as very verbal and as describing issues thoroughly?

• A. High Context Cultures
• B. Culture Shock
• C. Low Context Cultures
• D. Single-Focused Cultures

Answer: (C)

The main idea tested is how cultures differ in how explicitly they communicate. Describing issues thoroughly and speaking in a very verbal, explicit way is a hallmark of low-context cultures. In low-context settings, people say what they mean, provide detailed explanations, and rely on the words themselves to convey meaning—contracts, memos, and direct instructions are common. By contrast, high-context cultures depend more on shared background, situational cues, and indirect messages, so communication tends to be less explicit. Culture shock is not a type of culture but a reaction to adapting to a new culture, and single-focused cultures isn’t a standard term in this context. So the described behavior fits low-context cultures.
