    Solutions
    The hint in this sentence is ‘quilters, ___ and ____ and fibre artists or “sewists” — artists.’ This eliminates option B and option C. The word "tailor" is gender-neutral and refers to any person, male or female, who alters clothes. Thereby, the option is incorrect. A seamster is a person whose occupation is sewing; tailor.
