If a person has no right thumb and a thumbprint is needed, what should be done?

  1. Use the left thumb

  2. Use any finger and make a note of this problem

  3. Refuse to notarize

  4. Use a toe print

The correct answer is: Use any finger and make a note of this problem

If a person has no right thumb and a thumbprint is needed, using the left thumb (option A) would still be a viable option. However, it would be unfeasible to use a toe print (option D) since it would not provide a clear and accurate print. Refusing to notarize (option C) would also not be a suitable solution as it is the person's right to have documents notarized, regardless of their physical abilities. Option B suggests using any finger and making a note of the issue, which would be the most practical solution.
