vellajain Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi , Can I assume the writer as "Female" Well I am not a sexist but I read somewhere when gender of the person is unknown, it is acceptable in formal english to assume the (unknown ) person as Female So i frequently write something like Author needs to provide more evidence to support "HER" Argument. Is it Acceptable in GMAT land ?? Else how can i get round this issue??? Please reply as test date is 17March , it would be a pity if I loose marks beacause of this isssue Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g.tatiana Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I guess the best way is to substitute his or her with author's, speacker's or ,if it is stated in the question stem, editor's. In my essays I sometimes write "his or her" if other variants don't sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
