    Volume is

    • The density of something

    • The amount of space something takes up

    • The measurement of gravity on an object

    Correct Answer
    A. The amount of space something takes up
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The amount of space something takes up." Volume refers to the measure of space occupied by an object or substance. It is a three-dimensional quantity that determines the capacity or size of an object. The volume of an object can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. In simple terms, it represents the amount of space that an object occupies in terms of cubic units.

    Before using the balance, it must first be

    Correct Answer
    zeroed
    zero
    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.

    • 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.
