Final answer:

Without the specific perfil reading, the blanks in the question cannot be filled in (option D). However, detailed examples of measurements, such as the number of seconds in an hour or the number of grams in 3 kilograms, can be determined exactly, while the number of pages in a book and the number of grams in one's weight contain uncertainty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves making determinations about quantitative measures, which relates to principles often discussed in physics and measurements. The question asks to fill in the blanks based on a reading passage, which we do not have, but it ends with a specific example involving standard measurements that can be addressed.

  • (a) The number of seconds in an hour can be determined exactly since it is a defined quantity: 60 seconds per minute times 60 minutes equals 3,600 seconds.
  • (b) The number of pages in a book must be measured or counted and is therefore subject to some degree of uncertainty if the information is not directly available.
  • (c) The number of grams in your weight must also be measured and comes with uncertainty. This is because weight can fluctuate and measuring instruments can have margins of error.
  • (d) The number of grams in 3 kilograms can be determined exactly as it is a direct conversion: 1 kilogram equals 1,000 grams, therefore 3 kilograms equals 3,000 grams.

Regarding the blabks in the initial part of the question, without the specific perfil reading, it's not possible to fill in the blanks accurately (D. Not enough information given to determine the answer). However, if additional context or the perfil reading was provided, an exact answer could potentially be deduced.
