Explanation:

When using a graduated cylinder to measure volume, the correct practice is to take the reading from the bottom of the meniscus to account for surface - tension effects, and to view the sample at eye - level to avoid parallax errors. Reading from the top of the meniscus or from the top of the graduated cylinder is incorrect.

Answer:

Take the reading from the bottom of the meniscus.
Take the reading while viewing the sample at eye level.
