Yes, the chimpanzees can be trained to hold and use tools. They are quick learners and can be taught many things.

Yes, they can because, like human beings, they have what is called the "opposable thumb". This means that they can place their thumbs opposite their fingers (with the thumb lying across the palm of the hand. They can also make a fist. This human type of hand enables them to hammer with the fist, to pick things up between finger and thumb, to hold their babies, to grasp a tree branch, to hammer with a rock and, in general do whatever hands enable we humans to do.

What is the subject of the sentence Carelessness in the use of simple tools causes many accidents?

Answer 1The subject is "Carelessness."Answer 2The complete subject in the sentence "Carelessness in the use of simple tools causes many accidents." is "carelessness in the use of simple tools". This entire fragment represents one idea and therefore is the subject of the sentence. It is also notable that the verb "causes" is directly acted upon by this idea. However, if you have to pin it down to one word, Answer 1 is correct, "carelessness" would be the simple subject as "in the use of simple tools" is modifying the nature of the "carelessness".
