Answer 1

ANSWER- Parents should ensure that their children eat a proper breakfast.

EXPLANATION- Inclusive or nonsexist language implies A language that is gender-neutral and doesn't reflect a bias towards a particular sex in its delivery. The above statement doesn't reflect any gender differentiation i.e. neither the gender of the parents nor that of the kids seem evident from the statement. Whereas, in rest of the statements a line has been drawn between both the sexes by using gender-specific nouns and pronouns, for example- "man and wife", John Doe and his wife, two men and a girl, the pronoun 'he' has been used to refer to a tourist.
