Answer: Marian should focus on her nonverbal delivery.

A high-context culture relies heavily on nonverbal cues and implicit communication. Thus, in a high-context culture, a message cannot be fully understood if there is not enough non-verbal elements involved. Recognizing that the Chinese come from a high-context culture and emphasizing nonverbal delivery style is very important when speaking to them. When Marian adapts it to her delivery style, she is making sure that the her message is being delivered in a very effective way.
