which example below is using inclusive language?

• each time a surgeon walks into the operating room, he risks being sued for malpractice
• if a large comet struck the earth, it could destroy all of mankind
• being a small businessman in the current economic climate is not easy
• the paralympics show what people with disabilities can accomplish in the athletic area

Explanation:

• The first option uses "he", which is gender - specific and excludes female surgeons, so it's not inclusive.
• The second option uses "mankind", which is gender - biased as it implies only men, while "humankind" or more inclusive terms should be used.
• The third option uses "businessman", which is gender - specific and excludes women in business.
• The fourth option "The Paralympics show what people with disabilities can accomplish in the athletic area" uses inclusive language as it refers to "people with disabilities" which is a more inclusive and neutral way to address this group without any form of exclusion.

Answer:

The Paralympics show what people with disabilities can accomplish in the athletic area
