Choose the sentence in which the gender form of the noun is used correctly.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

The mayoress delivered her speech to the gathering.

Feminine nouns like mayoress, shepherdess, heiress, and conductress must be followed by feminine pronouns to keep gender agreement consistent.

"The mayoress delivered her speech to the gathering" pairs the feminine noun mayoress with the feminine pronoun "her", keeping the gender consistent throughout.

The other sentences pair feminine nouns with masculine pronouns such as "his" or "himself", creating a gender mismatch.
