Answer: (a)

To 'tamper' is 'to meddle with and corrupt'. 'Destroyed' has too harsh a meaning to be used here. 'Mishandled' means 'handled roughly' or 'ill-treated'—something that cannot apply to 'records' in the given sentence. 'Manhandled' is not correct usage; 'manhandled' means the same as mishandled.

'Skilled' means having expertness or practised ability in an activity or in doing something. The dancer is an artiste who performs and so 'skilled' would be the best choice here. 'Adept' means thoroughly proficient.

Answer: (c)

'Veracity' of a statement refers to its correctness or accuracy. 'Validity' refers 'to legal soundness' or 'force'. Option (c), 'ambiguity', will not suit the meaning of the sentence.
