Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low power-distance cultures are characterized by a more equal distribution of power and status among individuals in society, making inequalities less pronounced compared to high power-distance cultures. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because people in low power-distance cultures may openly express disagreements with their superiors without fearing retribution. Option C is incorrect because low power-distance cultures are not necessarily collectivist, and individualism may be valued just as much. Option D is incorrect because although lower-ranking individuals may show respect, they are also able to communicate and express their views without reservation.
