Correct choices: 1, 3 and 4.

- 1 is important: trust should be a goal from the start.
- 3 is true: credibility often takes more time across cultures.
- 4 is essential: learn how credibility is earned in the other culture.

2 is not a good guideline — you should show empathy and appropriate rapport, but do so in ways that fit the other culture so your actions aren’t misinterpreted.
