Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Bias-free language avoids words and phrases that unfairly and even unethically categorize or stigmatize people in ways related to gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability, or other personal characteristics. Contrary to what some might think biased language is not simply about labels. To a significant degree, language reflects the way people think and what they believe, and biased language may well perpetuate the underlying stereotypes and prejudices that it represents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Written messages and most forms of digital communication generally require more tact than oral communication. When you're speaking to someone live, you can soften your words by your tone of voice and facial expressions. Plus, you can adjust your approach according to the feedback you get.
