Answer to Question 1

A
One of the guidelines for using nondiscriminatory language is to describe people in terms of
their skills and abilities, not in terms of their gender, race, cultural background, appearance,
religion, age, or physical challenges.

Answer to Question 2

D
Salesperson is an example of a gender-neutral word. Gender-neutral words are those that
do not indicate maleness or femaleness.
