Question

In a scientific investigation of lakes, the depth of a lake is most likely to be measured in

A.liters.
B.miles.
C.grams.
D.meters.

Answer 1

(D) meters

Explanation:

In order to measure the depth of the lake, it should be measured in meters.

Because, liters used to measure the amount of water and not the depth of the lake. Similarly, miles and grams are too big and small respectively in order to find the depth of the lake as miles are used for measuring big depth and the grams are used for measuring the weight of the thing.

Therefore, meters is used in order to find the depth of the lake.

Answer 2

The answer is D. This is the most reasonable of the choices. Miles is used to measure long distance depths such as those of the oceans. Lakes are less likely to have such greats depths that extend to miles. Grams are an SI unit that measures weight while liters are an SI unit that measure volume.
