Explanation:

For the first question:

• Following your own habits ignores cultural differences, worsening barriers.
• Delaying judgment avoids misinterpreting cultural behaviors, reducing barriers.
• Ignoring the receiver's cultural differences leads to miscommunication.
• Assuming similarities first can lead to misjudging cultural differences.

For the second question:

• Indirect questions may not clarify gaps effectively.
• Splitting focus reduces listening quality.
• Giving full attention shows engagement and improves listening.
• Multitasking prevents full comprehension of the speaker's message.

Answer:

1. Delay judgment of a person's behavior until you are sure you are being culturally sensitive.
2. Stop what you are doing and give them your complete attention.
