Understanding the Meanings of the Word "HANDLE"
The question asks us to identify which of the given sentences correctly express a meaning of the word "HANDLE". Let's examine each sentence:
Analyzing Sentence A
A. She carefully held the handle of the door.
In this sentence, "handle" is used as a noun. It refers to a part of an object, like a door, that is designed to be held or gripped to move or open it. This is a very common and correct meaning of the word "handle".
Analyzing Sentence B
B. The detective found a crucial piece of evidence with his keen handle on the case.
In this sentence, "handle on the case" is used idiomatically. It means having a strong understanding, grasp, or control over the case or situation. While perhaps less common than the physical object meaning, this is a recognized and valid use of "handle" (often in phrases like "get a handle on something"). It implies a mental grip or control, distinct from a physical grip.
Analyzing Sentence C
C. He couldn't handle the pressure and decided to quit.
In this sentence, "handle" is used as a verb. It means to manage, cope with, or deal with something, in this case, pressure. This is another very common and correct meaning of the word "handle".
Conclusion
Each sentence uses the word "HANDLE" in a different, but correct, sense:
- Sentence A: "Handle" as a noun meaning a physical grip or part for holding.
- Sentence B: "Handle" as a noun (in a phrase) meaning understanding or control over a situation.
- Sentence C: "Handle" as a verb meaning to manage or cope with something.
Since all three sentences correctly express a meaning of the word "HANDLE", all of them are valid uses.
Therefore, the sentences that express the meaning of the word "HANDLE" are A, B, and C.
