Now the last one is interesting since in English the concept does not exist, at least in the honorific form. Either way we have to select an answer that suits rather than the one that is necessarily accurate.
Interesting, there are 19 options in English! Now (being a fluent Spanish speaker) I know that a few won’t translate very well, but some can be translated easily e.g. Captain is Capitan and Professor is Profesor. So a tad lazy by BA IMHO. After all, some people want others to address them by their ‘proper’ title that they are ‘entitled’ to!
