Question
Look at your hands carefully. Now, write down for each finger one action for which that finger is particularly important. For example, the second (or index) finger helps to hold the knife down firmly when cutting.
Solution
The middle finger is particularly important when we want just to feel by the slightest touch-say the temperature of the water. The ring finger as the name suggests is used for bearing a ring. One cannot make a fist without the use of the little finger.
