Q. ________ is influenced by inter-personal context.

Correct Answer: (C) Speech style

For example, people may use formal speech in professional settings and informal speech with friends. While gestures, posture, education, and problem-solving can also be influenced by context, “speech style” is most directly shaped by interpersonal interactions.
