Consider the following excerpt:
Difficulty interpreting what I have come to call ‘Ahorita Time’ is a reflection of different cultural understandings of time. Dr Company explained that if she is giving a talk in Mexico and goes over her allotted time, Mexicans “feel like I am giving them a gift”. In the UK or the US, however, “The audience starts to leave, feeling like I am wasting their time”.
Choose the alternative that conveys the same meaning of the excerpt above.
Mexicans tend to feel lack of respect when talks or lectures go beyond the destined time frames.
Dr Company believes that negative feelings from different audiences in talks are due to lack of language comprehension.
People in different countries react differently to going over time in talks based on cultural backgrounds.
In the US or the UK, it is customary for the audiences to stay over the allotted times of talks and lectures.
The interpretation of time by Mexicans and people from different nationalities is a language barrier.
