A encompass

A

Explanation:

is the answer because encompass is skillful I think

D

Explanation:

When you are manipulating something, typically a tool or object, you are able to use it to a skillful degree.

You can also use the process of elimination. To encompass can mean to surround or enclose something, as well as to include something. No mention of handling or using something skillfully. To depict only means to illustrate or convey something through the medium of art, such as paintings and drawings (i.e. a depiction of the Boston Massacre). Still, no mention of handling or using something skillfully. Finally, to constrain means to compel or force someone to a specific action, or to limit and restrain something. No mentions of using something skillfully.

Therefore, you can safely choose manipulate as a solid answer through the process of elimination.

Also, you can also apply what you know- a psychological manipulator is able to exploit, or use someone's emotions to their advantage, skillfully.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
