Which statement regarding the physical arrangements of an international negotiation setting is true?

In high-context cultures, the physical arrangements of rooms are taken casually. Japanese prefer to talk to everyone separately, then, once everyone agrees, to schedule inclusive meetings.

Americans tend toward a cumulative approach, meeting with one party and reaching an agreement, then both parties calling on a third party.
