Identify the meaning of the underlined part of the given sentence from the options that follow:

I can't do your work just now my hands are full.

  • A.I am rich
  • B.I am poor
  • C.I am at leisure
  • D.I am busy

Answer: D

The underlined part means I am busy.

The idiom to have one's hands full means to be fully occupied with work or responsibilities, with no time for anything else. The speaker cannot do the other person's work now because he is already busy.

The idiom says nothing about wealth or poverty, so 'I am rich' and 'I am poor' are wrong. 'I am at leisure' is the opposite of its meaning.
