Question

A clinical thermometer can be used to ___ .

• A. measure temperature of hot milk
• B. measure body temperature
• C. measure temperature of ice cold water
• D. All of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

measure body temperature

A clinical thermometer has the range of ${35}^{\circ }C$ to ${42}^{\circ }C$. So it can be used to measure body temperature. However, measuring the temperature of hot milk or ice cold water is not feasible because these temperatures lie outside the range of the clinical thermometer.
