Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: Choose language—especially adjectives—that is inclusive, avoids stereotypes, and describes actions or skills rather than assumed gender traits. Use gender-neutral words and structures. English example: use “students” or “they” instead of defaulting to “he.”
