Brief small talk often【C6】______ the business interaction,【C7】______ the short-term  rewards, and financial arrangements quickly become the focus.【C8】______ contracts are helpful but not necessary because a person’s last successes are deemed more important. Communication is usually indirect, informal, competitive and【C9】______ argumentative.

They may【C18】______ a discussion abruptly if they think it will lead to an argument over a sensitive topic. In conversation, Swedes do not【C19】______ exaggeration or superficiality.
