Test No. incompl/inter-1 "Applying for that Job", question 9

Have you ever tried your ......... at running a business?

(a) arm
(b) finger
(c) hand
(d) leg

Test No. incompl/inter-1 "Applying for that Job", answer 9

Have you ever tried your hand at running a business?

Correct answer: (c) hand
_________________________

I chose the answer "finger", I think that "finger at" means step into a field , could you tell me is that right?

And I have not find the definition of "try one's hand" in my dictionary, could you explain it for me and give some examples?

Thank you very much!

Hi again,

This expression means try and do something for the first time as an experiment. You could try your hand at painting the rooms in your house instead of getting someone else to do it for you. You could try your hand at growing your own fruit and vegetables and not buy them at your local shop.
