Explanation:

1. The term "plumb" refers to being perfectly vertical.
2. Laser levels are ideal for checking level conditions over long distances due to their precision and range.
3. Some chalk - lines can serve as a measuring tape as they can mark straight lines and measure lengths over a distance.
4. A ripsaw is designed for cutting along the grain of wood and typically has fewer, larger, and more aggressive teeth compared to other saws.
5. A backsaw is a precision saw often used for cutting miter joints.
6. When sawing lumber, starting the cut so the kerf is on the scrap side of the marked line helps to ensure the measured piece is the correct size.
7. A hand - screw clamp has large jaws that can spread clamping pressure over a wider area compared to other clamps.

Answer:

1. a. perfectly vertical
2. b. laser level
3. b. measuring tape
4. c. A ripsaw
5. b. backsaw
6. b. on the scrap side of the marked line
7. c. A hand - screw clamp
