Answer 1

The gender of Dominique in French cannot be determined solely by the name, but rather by the adjective used in the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of Dominique cannot be determined solely by the name, as it can be used for both men and women in French. The student must base their answer on the adjective they hear. For example, if the adjective used to describe Dominique is 'élégant' (elegant), it is more commonly associated with a woman. If the adjective is 'fort' (strong), it is more commonly associated with a man. Therefore, the answer to whether Dominique is a man, a woman, or if it can't be told depends on the adjective used in the sentence.
