The feminine gender of the word 'Bachelor' is

Question

Accepted Answer

The feminine gender of the word 'Bachelor' is 'Spinster'.

**Explanation:**

**Why Option 2 (Spinster) is correct:**
The word 'Bachelor' refers to an unmarried man. The direct and traditional feminine equivalent for an unmarried woman, especially one who is past the usual age for marriage, is 'Spinster'. Both terms specifically denote a person's marital status as unmarried, but for different genders. Therefore, 'Spinster' is the correct feminine gender for 'Bachelor'.

**Why other options are incorrect:**

*   **Option 1 (Steward):** A 'Steward' is a person who manages property or serves passengers on a ship or aircraft. Its feminine equivalent is 'Stewardess' or 'Flight attendant'. This word has no relation to the marital status implied by 'Bachelor' and is not its feminine counterpart.
*   **Option 3 (Wizard):** A 'Wizard' is a man who practices magic. Its feminine equivalent is 'Witch' or 'Sorceress'. This word refers to a profession or magical ability, not marital status, and thus is not the feminine gender of 'Bachelor'.
*   **Option 4 (Woman):** A 'Woman' is an adult female human being. While a 'Spinster' is a woman, 'Woman' is a general term for an adult female, whereas 'Bachelor' is a specific term for an unmarried man. The male equivalent of 'Woman' is 'Man'. The specific feminine counterpart to 'Bachelor', carrying the same connotation of being an unmarried adult, is 'Spinster', not the general term 'Woman'.
