Ambidextrous refers to the ability to use both hands equally well. The context clue in the sentence suggests that Carlos was able to perform tasks with both his left and right hands. The word "ambidextrous" is formed by combining the prefix "ambi-" meaning "both" and the word "dexter" meaning "right-handed." By breaking down the word parts, we can understand that ambidextrous means having skill or coordination with both hands. The context clue further confirms this understanding by mentioning Carlos's ability to throw accurately with his left hand after spraining his right wrist.
