(a) his arm
(b) his leg
(c) his hip

Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Understand the term 'pollex' by recalling anatomical terminology. The pollex is a specific part of the body, so identifying it correctly is key to answering the question.
Step 2: Recall that the pollex refers to the thumb, which is the first digit of the hand, distinct from fingers 2 through 5.
Step 3: Recognize that a dislocation involves a joint being forced out of its normal position, so Jack has injured the joint of his thumb.
Step 4: Review the answer choices and match the pollex to the correct body part. Since the pollex is the thumb, the correct choice corresponds to the thumb.
Step 5: Conclude that Jack injured his thumb, which is option (d), based on the anatomical definition of pollex.
