Question

Choose the option that best expresses the meaning of the italicized part of the sentence:
The operator was commended for his dexterity.

• A. cooperation
• B. courtesy
• C. punctuality
• D. skill

Answer 1

The correct option is D skill

The highlighted word means 'skillful in using hands'

Option D is correct. In this context, the highlighted word can simply means 'skill'. Thus, the option is similar in meaning to the required one. Thus, it is correct.

Options A, B and C are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Cooperation' means 'Joint action', 'courtesy' means 'politeness' and 'punctuality' means 'quality of always being on time'.
