Question

Choose the best inclusive-language revision of the sentence.

On my flight from New York, the stewardess was very kind.


a. On my flight from New York, the flight attendant was very kind.

b. The stewardess was very kind on my flight from New York.

c. On my flight from New York, the female flight attendant was very kind.

d. The sentence does not need revision.

Answer 1

The correct answer is a) On my flight from New York, the flight attendant was very kind.

Inclusive language refers to gender-neutral language. Any reference where the subject indicates a female or male, should be replaced for a more general word. In this case, we replaced "stewardess" refering to female, with "flight attendant" which could be both male or female.
