Answer 1

Ambidextrous refers to the ability to use both hands equally well. The word can be broken down into two parts: "ambi," meaning both, and "dextrous," meaning skilled or capable with the right hand. In the context of the sentence, it is mentioned that Carlos sprained his right wrist but could still throw accurately. This suggests that he has the ability to use his left hand just as well, indicating that he is ambidextrous. The context clues help us understand that ambidextrous means being dexterous or skilled with both hands.
