Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events.[1][2] The scope and application of measurement are dependent on the context and discipline. In the natural sciences and engineering, measurements do not apply to nominal properties of objects or events, which is consistent with the guidelines of the International vocabulary of metrology published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.[2] However, in other fields such as statistics as well as the social and behavioral sciences, measurements can have multiple levels, which would include nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio scales.[1][3]
Measurement is a cornerstone of trade, science, technology, and quantitative research in many disciplines. Historically, many measurement systems existed for the varied fields of human existence to facilitate comparisons in these fields. Often these were achieved by local agreements between trading partners or collaborators. Since the 18th century, developments progressed towards unifying, widely accepted standards that resulted in the modern International System of Units (SI). This system reduces all physical measurements to a mathematical combination of seven base units. The science of measurement is pursued in the field of metrology.

<h3>What is
fuel oil?</h3>
Fuel oil is a byproduct of the distillation of petroleum. It includes distillates as well as residues. Any liquid fuel that is burned in a furnace or boiler to generate heat or used in an engine to generate power is referred to as fuel oil.
Fuel oil is a highly stable, combustible, and non-explosive product that addresses some of the safety concerns associated with other fuels. The high BTU content of a gallon of oil versus an equal measure of natural gas, propane, or electricity accounts for the efficiency.

Answer:
The answer is d. The contrast error.
Explanation:
The contrast error occurs when the qualities of a person are greatly exaggerated in comparison to previous performances. For example, if the first candidate in a job interview offers a particularily poor impression, it's likely that any improvement by a later candidate will be accepted by the interviewer. In other words, this phenomenon refers to "setting the bar too low" --or too high.
Piggy is the most rational member on the island. He's intelligent, level
headed, and thinks before he speaks. Jack and the other boys are
threatened by his ability to vocalize his thoughts in a rational manner
and his loyalty to Ralph. Thus, they demean him at every opportunity.
Piggy's glasses also represent science and civilization. They make fire,
which makes them an object of desire. His glasses also symbolize the
ability to see clearly with clarity and understanding.
