Question 1 • PA-Biology CR

Which reason is the best for choosing the ruler to measure the dimensions of the wooden block?

Answer
A
A meter stick is only marked in customary units and is therefore inappropriate.
B
A tape measure is simply not accurate.
C
A ruler is a good length for meauring the length of fairly small objects.
D
Only rulers are marked in centimeters, so no other tool will work.

Explanation

A ruler is a convenient size for measuring the length, width, and height of a fairly small object such as a wooden block. A tape measure can also be accurate, and other measuring tools may have centimeter markings, so choices A, B, and D give incorrect reasons.
