Celina, Mike, and Toni each have an essay returned by the teacher with a request for edits. Celina's essay is returned because she used the same words over and over again. Mike's is returned because he often used the wrong part of speech when he tried to use more interesting vocabulary. Toni's essay is returned because she used words with definitions that did not match her intended meaning.

In three to five sentences, explain which reference source each student should use to correct their essay, and why.

Carlos was ambidextrous, so, when he sprained his right wrist, he was still able to throw accurately with this left hand.

In 3–5 sentences, define ambidextrous and explain how both the context clues and word parts can help you discover the word’s meaning.

Celina should use a thesaurus to find synonyms and expand her vocabulary, helping her avoid repetitive word usage in her essay. Mike would benefit from using a grammar guide or style manual to better understand parts of speech, ensuring he uses the correct form of words in the right context. Toni should consult a dictionary to confirm the definitions of the words she used, ensuring that the words match her intended meanings and improving the clarity of her writing.

Ambidextrous refers to a person's ability to use both hands with equal skill and proficiency. The context clues in the sentence indicate that Carlos could still throw accurately with his left hand despite injuring his right wrist, suggesting that he can use both hands effectively. Additionally, breaking down the word reveals that "ambi-" means "both" and "-dexterous" relates to skill or ability, reinforcing the definition that an ambidextrous person can skillfully use both hands.
