This question consists of a pair of words which have a certain relationship to each other. Select the pair which has the same relationship. (The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.) Altimeter : Altitudes
Protractor : Light
Taseometer : Wind
Hygrometer : Humidity
Fathometer : Presure
Hygrometer : Humidity
Identify the relationship: The first word is a scientific instrument and the second word is the physical quantity or magnitude it measures.
Identify the relationship: The first word is a scientific instrument and the second word is the physical quantity or magnitude it measures.
Analyze the Primary Pair
An Altimeter is a scientific instrument designed to measure altitude (the height of an object in relation to sea level or ground level).
Evaluate Option Relationships
Compare each option to determine if the first word is an instrument and the second is the quantity measured: A) Protractor measures angles, not light. B) Taseometer (or Taseometer) measures strain, not wind. C) Hygrometer measures humidity. D) Fathometer measures depth (or distance in water), not pressure.
A: Protractor measures angles, not light. B: Taseometer measures strain/stress, not wind. D: Fathometer measures depth (fathoms), not pressure.
C is correct because a Hygrometer is an instrument specifically calibrated to measure humidity levels in the atmosphere, maintaining the same Instrument-Measurement relationship as Altimeter-Altitude.
Always identify the specific function of the instrument first; often, examiners include distractors that look like scientific instruments but are paired with the wrong physical quantity.
