Question

7 in this story, the word scale means something that ____. a measures weight c makes music b shows units d climbs upward

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "scale" in the story, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A "scale" (like a weighing scale) is an instrument that measures weight. This is a common and primary meaning of "scale" in contexts related to measurement.
• Option B: While scales (e.g., a ruler with units) can show units, the core function of a scale (especially in a story - likely referring to a weighing scale) is measuring weight, not just showing units.
• Option C: A "scale" related to music is a sequence of notes, but the context of "something that..." here is more likely about a physical object, so this is less probable.
• Option D: "Scale" as a verb can mean to climb, but the question asks for what "scale" (a noun) means, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. measures weight
