The kitchen has been designed so that all the things you need are conveniently________.

A. to hand

Meaning that the items you use the most are within reach, without you having to move around the kitchen too much .

Hi,

Yes you’re right - it means that things are easily reached. ‘In hand’ suggests ’ under control’, ‘by hand’ suggests ‘done with your hand’ as in: the letter was written by hand (not typed). ‘Out of hand’ means ‘out of control’.

…without you having to move around the kitchen too much

Would somebody explain me the reason of using “without you having”?

Thanks

It means , You don’t have to go all around the kitchen to find the things you need.
The kitchen has been planned to minimise having to " move around constantly ".

You meant the redundancy of “you” in that construction? I guess Kito meant “without your having to” or it’s the redundancy.

By the way, what about “with hand”, Alan? Could we use “with hand” instead of “by hand”?

Thanks
