Choose the correct one-word substitute for:
A person who can use both hands with equal easeAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) Ambidextrous
Meaning: ambidextrous = able to use both hands equally well *(दोनों हाथों से समान रूप से काम करने वाला, उभयहस्त)*.
Read the parts: ambi- = both, dexter = right hand.
So the word literally says *right-handed on both sides*, which is the definition given.
Why the others are wrong.
• Dexterous = skilful, especially with the hands *(निपुण, दक्ष)* — it praises skill but says nothing about using both hands.
• Sinistral = left-handed, on the left side *(वामहस्त, बाएँ हाथ से काम करने वाला)* — the opposite of *dexter*, and it names one hand only.
• Versatile = able to turn easily to many different tasks *(बहुमुखी, अनेक कामों में कुशल)* — a general talent, not a fact about hands.
Word help.
