Association of Social Work Boards Masters (ASWB MSW) Practice Exam

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.
