Eventually, a teacher in the engineering program, Jeff Wilkins, _________ Peralta’s hand, and suggested that his engineering students might be able to _________. “They ended up offering me, like, ‘We could build you a robotic hand’and I never _________ it,” said Peralta.

Peralta had become__________ at using his left hand to write and do nearly everything else. But there were certain things that weren’t __________, like catching a baseball with his right hand.
