Which activity is cited as evidence of the applicant's manual dexterity?

• A. Running
• B. Piano
• C. Public Speaking
• D. Swimming

Answer: (B)

Manual dexterity is the ability to perform precise, skilled hand and finger movements. Playing the piano develops highly refined finger independence, precise touch, and coordinated timing between both hands. These abilities directly map to dental work, where delicate manipulation of small instruments and tactile feedback are essential. Other activities—running, public speaking, or swimming—rely more on gross motor skills, vocal technique, or overall body coordination rather than fine finger control. That combination of precise finger work and coordinated hand use is why playing the piano is cited as evidence of the applicant's manual dexterity.
