Every person I talked to said he would donate to the charity event. Which revision removes the gender bias from the sentence in
the most effective way? A. All of the people I talked to said they would donate to the charity event. B. Every person I talked to said everyone would donate to the charity event. C. Every person I talked to said they would donate to the charity event. D. Every person I talked to said she would donate to the charity event.
The revision that would remove gender bias is A: All the people I talked to said they would donate to the charity event. By using the phrase <em>all the people</em>, the pronoun <em>they</em> makes a correct reference to this subject, and it avoids the difference in gender that can occur if the pronouns <em>he</em> or <em>she</em> are used. The pronoun <em>they</em> includes both men and women.
