Answer 2

The sentence "Brandon drove Carlos to the meeting" has a problem with gender bias. The sentence implies that Brandon is the one who drove, while Carlos is the one who was driven. This is a common problem in language, and it can be avoided by using more gender-neutral language.

For example, we could say "Brandon and Carlos drove to the meeting together" or "Brandon gave Carlos a ride to the meeting."

Here is a list of the issues with the sentence and their corresponding answers:

1. Flabby expression: No.
