Answer:

Faux pas is a French expression that literally translates as: misstep. In English it is most often used in the context of mishaps or blunders within a social context. As such, it is used to refer to the violation of certain social norms or etiquette rules.

The origin of the phrase goes back to the times of the King of France, Louis XIV, in whose reign dancing was very important and in which, a misstep could cause you from being vanished from the aristocratic salons.

Xelga [282]

Answer: C. I look forward to working with a woman doctor soon.

Bias refers to an unfair prejudice a person has towards a particular group, person or thing. In this sentence, the author is showing a gender bias, as he prefers to work with women than with men. Whether that is a "positive" stereotype (women are more capable, they work harder, etc.) or a negative one (women are more attractive, easier to control, etc.), it gives an unfair advantage to one gender over the other one with no fair justification. Therefore, it  is to be discouraged in the workplace.
