Question

The underlined word in the sentence is used correctly:

In all her impromptu speeches, it is her dexterous intelligence that keeps her words carefully balanced and in check.

Underlined word: dexterous
TRUE
FALSE

Answer 1

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Being dexterous means having an exceptional ability to think or do things fast, efficiently and effectively. It also means being intelligent. So having dexterous (which is synonymous to being intelligent) describe intelligence itself is a form of tautology - a needless or unnecessary repetition of a word.
