Question: 406

12. Scale is to weight as

  • A. speedometer is to sound
  • B. circumferentor is to angle
  • C. pipette is to area
  • D. tachometer is to direction

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

E

A scale measures weight. A circumferentor measures angles.

If you don't know the meaning of circumferentor, use process of elimination. The easier answers to eliminate are choices (A) and (E) because a speedometer does not measure sound and a thermometer does not measure energy. If you know that a pipette measures volume or a tachometer measures rotation (or both), you can also eliminate choices (B) or (C) or both. Always guess when you are down to two.
