Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicised part of the sentence.
The operator was commended for his dexterity.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D skill

“Dexterity” means skill in performing tasks, especially with the hands.

Option D is the correct answer because “skill” means the ability to do something well, expertise, hence it is the correct meaning of “dexterity”.

Option A is incorrect because ‘cooperation ‘ means to cope up with, which is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because “courtesy” means politeness towards others which is not relevant here.

Option C is incorrect because “punctuality” means being regular and on time, which is not relevant here as the meaning of dexterity, hence incorrect.!
