Question

Nelson has a passion for working with small appliances. The term "working with" suggests he is unskilled in his hobby. However, you want to rephrase this sentence to convey that Nelson is, in fact, quite adept at his hobby. Which of the following options best replaces "working with" to accurately reflect his skill level? a. repairing b. selling c. fiddling with d. tampering with

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

The answer is D. Repairing.

A. Repairing Explanation:“Fiddle with” has a similar meaning to “tinker with”: it means to touch something restlessly or nervously, often with the purpose of making improvements; “Messing with” means to meddle or interfere with something, so it does not either express that Nelson is skilled at his hobby, and neither does “Selling,” which comes from the verb “to sell.” “Repairing,” on the other hand, means to restore something damaged or worn to a good condition, and it is the only word that can change the flavor of the sentence to show that Nelson is quite skilled with small appliances.

The answer would be a. Repairing, because "fiddling with" implies the same thing as "tinkering with" does, "selling" completely changes the meaning of the sentence, and "messing with" implies that he is even less skilled than "tinkering with" implies. Repairing things almost always takes skill.
