Answer 2

The above sentence can be reframed as :

Responsivity in a premature infant may be secondary to a heightened level of autonomic arousal.

Reason:

• It is irrelevant to use a gender specific pronoun in such case, where the gender or sex specificity is useless.

• Rather than using any gender specific pronoun it is important to use a neutral noun equivalent that is which does not specify any gender.

• Thus, for the above sentence 'a' a neutral noun is used in place of a gender specific noun 'his'.
