Question

because of its rigidity, a folding ruler is better than a cloth or steel tape for measuring _____.
○ internal dimensions
○ horizontal distance
○ circular diameters
○ vertical distance

Explanation:

A folding ruler's rigidity makes it ideal for maintaining a straight - line measurement over a horizontal distance. Cloth tapes can sag and steel tapes may bend easily over longer horizontal runs, introducing errors. For internal dimensions, circular diameters and vertical distances, other tools like calipers or plumb lines may be more appropriate.

Answer:

B. horizontal distance
