question 4
which example below is using inclusive language?

○ 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
clear selection

Explanation:

• The first option uses "he" which is gender - specific and excludes female surgeons.
• The second option uses "mankind" which is gender - biased and excludes women (the term "humankind" would be more inclusive).
• The third option uses "businessman" which is gender - specific and excludes female business owners.
• The fourth option "The Paralympics show what people with disabilities can accomplish in the athletic area" uses inclusive language as it refers to a diverse group ("people with disabilities") without excluding any subset and focuses on their capabilities.

Answer:

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