Using and are two ways you can avoid gender biased language. a. plural subjects; masculine and feminine pronouns b. general subjects; masculine and feminine pronouns c. single subjects; masculine pronouns d. plural subjects; feminine pronouns

Hey there!

I think your answer is A., plural subjects and masculine and feminine pronouns. Both C. and D. can't be it, since they favor the use of one gendered pronoun instead of both types. For B., I've never heard of a "general subject" in the case of singular and plural subjects, so I believe this was put here to throw you off by assuming that "general" would refer to all subjects, or something like that.

Using plural subjects rather than singular would refer to more than one person or subject (specifically more than one gender, in this case). Instead of saying "She is being referred to", which is singular, you could say "They..." (or he/she) "...are being referred to", without excluding any genders. 

Your answer will be A. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

The correct answer is B.
