What is context defined as?

  1. Repeating noises and phrases

  2. The circumstances surrounding human exchanges of information

  3. Failure to perceive and evaluate new information

  4. Responses mediated through perception and evaluation of received information

The correct answer is: The circumstances surrounding human exchanges of information

Context refers to the circumstances surrounding human exchanges of information. This means that it includes the setting, background, and environment in which communication takes place. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the concept of context. Option A refers to the act of repetition, not the context of communication. Option C refers to a failure to process new information, not the context in which it is received. Option D refers to the ways in which we respond to information, not the context in which it is exchanged. Therefore, option B is the most accurate definition of context.
