Before using the balance, it must first be

Explanation
The correct answer is "zeroed". To use the balance, it needs to be set to zero or calibrated. This ensures that any previous measurements or weights are not affecting the current measurement. The answer "zero" is incorrect as it is not a verb and does not accurately describe the action needed to prepare the balance for use.

To zero the balance, all the sliding masseds must be move to the

Explanation
To zero the balance, all the sliding masses must be moved to the left. This means that the weights on the left side of the balance need to be greater than the weights on the right side in order to achieve equilibrium. By moving the sliding masses to the left, the balance will be balanced and the weights on both sides will be equal, resulting in a zero balance.

The meniscus is
- A bubble in the liquid
- The amount of liquid in a graduated cylinder
- The curved surface of a liquid
- The measurement markings on the cylinder
Correct Answer

A. The curved surface of a liquid

Explanation

The meniscus refers to the curved surface of a liquid. When a liquid is in a container, such as a graduated cylinder, the surface of the liquid curves due to the adhesive forces between the liquid and the container. This curvature is known as the meniscus. It is important to measure the volume of a liquid from the bottom of the meniscus to obtain an accurate measurement.
