In order to develop the most accepting environment, which of the following would be most appropriate when referring to someone’s relationship?
  1. Spouse
  2. Husband/wife
  3. Life partner
  4. Partner
Explanation
Answer - D - Spouse or husband and wife imply marriage, while life partner implies something that is a bit outdated and overused for the same meaning. Partner is the best choice because of its gender neutrality and its ability to be used in marriage or other types of life situations without having to reinvent words or phrases for what is being experienced.
