2. you did correctly.
3. You need to change manmade to handmade or something like that.
4. All the electronics engineers and their spouses attended the conference.

Answer 2

1. The president of the corporation met the sales staff.

2. The Chair of the meeting handled the debate well.

3. All artifical/synthetic components were checked for microscopic cracks.

4. All the electronics and their partners attended the conference.

Answer 3

Thesecond one was good. The first could be the President of the corperation met the Sales Staff. the Third one could be "All Humanmade Components were checked for microscopic cracks" All the Electronics enginers and their spouses attended the conferance. Your welcome have a good time!!!!

Answer 4

ur revised sentences for no.1 and no.2 are fine,

'manmade' is not really a sexist word, it's a common, accepted word for non natural entities and,

no.4, maybe instead, all the electronic engineers and their families attended the conference

Answer 5

It's not sexist.
