Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true

The correct solution is "Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true".

Statement I: Cross communication promotes teamwork in the classroom.

Explanation:

• Cross-cultural communication thus refers to the communication between people who have differences in any one of the following: styles of working, age, nationality, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
• Cross-cultural communication can also refer to the attempts that are made to exchange, negotiate and mediate cultural differences by means of language, gestures, and body language. It is how people belonging to different cultures communicate with each other.
• Cross-communication sometimes creates differences of opinion and thus results in conflicts.

Therefore, Cross communication does not always promote teamwork in the classroom.

Statement II: Exactness of communication in a cross-cultural setting is flexible and responsive

• By acquiring cross-cultural communication skills, you'll be able to express yourself with confidence and understand how to be patient with other people who aren't from a similar background.
• It'll also provide a great opportunity to meet fellow students from other cultures and discuss your differences.
• Thus, the exactness of communication in a cross-cultural setting is flexible and responsive
