Grammar: Gender

Question:

Which of the following is a correct pair of masculine and feminine gender?

Options:

Nephew:Niece

Boar:Boaress

Bachelor:Bachelor

Chairman:Chairwomen

Correct Answer:

Nephew:Niece

Explanation:

The correct answer is Nephew:Niece. The other options are not correct pairs of masculine and feminine gender.

  • Boar:Boaress is a correct pair, but boar and boaress are both nouns referring to female boars.
  • Bachelor:Bachelor is not a correct pair because bachelor is already a gender-neutral term.
  • Chairman:Chairwomen is not a correct pair because the feminine form of chairman is chairwoman.
