grammatical gender in languages like german and spanish (select all that apply):
always corresponds to the biological sex of the noun.
has a purely grammatical basis, not always linked to biological sex.
affects the form of articles and adjectives.
only applies to animate nouns like people and animals.

Explanation:

In German and Spanish, grammatical gender is a grammatical feature. It doesn't always match biological sex (e.g., "la luna" - the moon is feminine in Spanish with no relation to biology). Also, the gender of a noun affects the form of articles (like "el" and "la" in Spanish) and adjectives which must agree in gender with the noun. It applies to inanimate as well as animate nouns.

Answer:

B. Has a purely grammatical basis, not always linked to biological sex.
C. Affects the form of articles and adjectives.
