Work, age and gender

The direct answer is B: address everyone with respectful words. Gender-sensitive language avoids treating one gender as naturally more capable, important, or suitable for a particular role. It recognises that people deserve equal dignity and that abilities are not decided by being male, female, or belonging to another gender. Option B is correct because respectful words include everyone and support equality in school, home, and work. Option A is wrong because calling a task only men’s work creates a stereotype and may exclude women or other people who can perform it. Option C is wrong because mocking girls’ ability is insulting and reinforces discrimination. Option D is wrong because repeatedly interrupting women denies them an equal chance to speak and participate. Language is part of behaviour: even without physical action, words can encourage or hurt people. A learner should use a person’s preferred respectful form of address and avoid jokes based on gender. Memory cue: fair language gives every person respect, voice, and opportunity.

Career choices should be judged by a person’s interest, abilities, preparation, and willingness to work, not by stereotypes about gender. Nursing involves knowledge of health, careful observation, responsibility, communication, and compassionate care. These qualities are not limited to girls. A boy who is interested in nursing and develops the required skills can pursue it as a respectable and useful profession. A mixed workforce may also help patients feel comfortable in different situations and supports equal opportunity in education and employment.

The correct choice is A because nursing can be a suitable career for any person who has the interest and care skills needed for it. The other options rely on gender prejudice rather than evidence: nursing is not only for girls, the student should not be stopped merely because he is male, and the work is socially valuable and respectable. Career guidance should encourage informed choices and proper training. Respect for all honest occupations is part of a fair and inclusive society.

Devices can make household work easier and faster. In exams connect labour saving devices with work simplification.

The direct answer is A: a workplace is family friendly when workers receive support for care responsibilities. People may need time or arrangements for caring for children, older family members or ill relatives. A family-friendly workplace recognises these real responsibilities and may provide reasonable leave, flexible hours, childcare support or understanding managers, according to its policy. The reasoning is: employees have both work and family duties; support helps them manage both; therefore support for care responsibilities makes a workplace family friendly. Option A is correct because it describes practical help and balance. Option B is wrong because ignoring family needs creates stress and makes balancing work and home harder. Option C is wrong because removing all rest harms health and does not support workers. Option D is wrong because refusing to hear complaints removes support and fairness. Family friendly does not mean that work duties disappear or that every request must automatically be accepted. It means the workplace has humane, reasonable systems for employees with family responsibilities. The memory cue is “family friendly means support for care plus work-life balance.”
