Explanation:

Nelson, the CEO of a company, holds a meeting with the board of directors that includes both male and female members. While addressing them, Nelson is careful to use phrases such as "Welcome board members" and "Dear stockholders" instead of solely using "he" or "she." In this scenario, Nelson is avoiding the gender base. He does not want to address one specific gender either male or female, therefore, he has specifically used the words "members" in which both male and female come. This technique is quite effective when we have to address people of different genders, where no one feels ignored or unimportant. This technique and mechanism is used to treat people equally irrespective of their gender.
