Answer:

The speaker sounds accurate. " Perfectly clear": Perfectly premodifies clear , so it emphasises its meaning. It is as if the speaker meant " crystal clear". "say", this word comes before the measure; it is giving the accurate and exact distance to the animal. "test" expresses the speaker's objective. To test the elephant he / she has to be careful and his / her procedure has to be exact
