Question

in this cover letter text, what most needs to be revised?dear sir,i am writing to express my interest in your engineering department. the girl at your office told me that you had several openings for strong, hardworking individuals at your remote office in northwestern north dakota.a. informal toneb. redundancyc. gender biasd. casual style

Explanation:

The cover letter uses "the girl" to refer to a person in the office, which is a gender - biased term. A more appropriate and professional way would be to use a gender - neutral term like "the person" or refer to the individual by their job title. Options A (Informal tone) and D (Casual style) are not the main issues here as the overall tone is not overly informal or casual in a way that stands out more than the gender bias. Option B (Redundancy) is also not applicable as there is no redundant information. So the main thing that needs to be revised is the gender bias.

Answer:

C. Gender bias
