Answer:

when reading a thermometer, look horizontally at the surface of the mercury and read the scale level with the bottom of the meniscus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The meniscus of the mercury has the curved part and the straight horizontal part. Make sure to use the horizontal part. All the best.
