Identify the correct statement from among the following :

  • A.Clinical Thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of boiling liquids.
  • B.Room thermometers have a range from 30 °C to 100 °C.
  • C.Laboratory thermometers have a range from 35 °C to 42 °C.
  • D.The range of a laboratory thermometer is greater than that of a clinical thermometer.

Answer: D

The correct statement is that the range of a laboratory thermometer is greater than that of a clinical thermometer.

A laboratory thermometer usually reads from about −10 °C to 110 °C, while a clinical thermometer reads only from 35 °C to 42 °C, the range of human body temperature.

A clinical thermometer cannot measure boiling liquids, which are far above 42 °C. 35 °C to 42 °C is the range of a clinical, not a laboratory, thermometer, and 30 °C to 100 °C is not the range of a room thermometer.
