Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both options A and B are incorrect as they are either based on cultural stereotypes or common sense and not necessarily applicable to the situation. Option C may come across as abrupt and impolite. Therefore, the best option is D, none of the above. Ian should greet Emilio with respect and follow social norms of the country, such as a handshake or hug, and initiate small talk before transitioning into business. It is also important for Ian to be prepared and knowledgeable about Mexico's culture and business practices before the meeting.
