Answer: C. C, D, E only B

The correct answer is Option C — C, D, E only.

Why C is correct: High-context cultures (Hall's framework) rely on shared context, relationships, and implicit cues. They emphasise politeness and face-saving (C), heavy use of non-verbal cues like tone, silence, and gestures (D), and indirect phrasings that avoid blunt refusals (E).

A: Wrong — colloquialism and fractured sentences are features of low-context, casual direct speech, not high-context communication.
B: Wrong — fractured sentences indicate informal low-context style; high-context favours composed, polite delivery.
D: Wrong — includes colloquialism (A) and fractured sentences (B), both characteristic of low-context cultures, not high-context.

Paper 1 tip: Remember Hall's dichotomy: High-context (Japan, China, India, Arab) = indirect, non-verbal, polite, relationship-driven; Low-context (USA, Germany, Scandinavia) = explicit, direct, verbal, colloquial. UGC NET repeatedly tests these contrasts.
