Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgyny refers to a combination of traditionally masculine and feminine characteristics in one individual. It is not related to biological sex, but rather to gender expression and identity. Therefore, androgyny is the best choice to describe Clarice's personality traits. The other options, such as hermaphrodite (which refers to a person born with both male and female sex organs) or transvestite (which describes someone who wears clothing typically associated with the opposite gender) do not apply to Clarice's situation. Gender confused is also not an appropriate term as it implies a lack of clarity or certainty about one's gender identity, which may not be the case for Clarice.
