Peter is a middle-aged, overweight man who is trying to decrease his body circumference. how could the serving size on a nutrition label him lose weight?
it describes how many daily total calories he should eat. he can compare this number to the number of calories he currently consumes.
it allows him to predict how much weight he will lose if he follows the serving size guidelines on the nutrition label.
it describes the portion size of the food that he should eat. this amount can be used as a guideline for preparing food.
it defines how much food he can eat when dining at restaurants and still be able to lose weight.

The correct answer is -  It describes the portion size of the food that he should eat. This amount can be used as a guideline for preparing food.

Peter is probably eating more than the serving/portion size recommends. Once Peter knows what size he should be eating he can then use it as a guideline and will help him figure out what his daily calorie intake will be and should be.  

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
