Answer 1

The correct option is B Inch scale, 4 inches

$\text{Say:}$
$\bullet$ The length of a pencil is comparatively smaller (in inches) and can be measured using an inch scale.

$\bullet$ So, an inch scale is used to measure the length of the pencil.

$\bullet$ Let us measure the length.

$\text{Steps:}$
$\bullet$ The pencil starts from 0 inches in the scale and ends at 4 inches.

$\bullet$ So, the length of the pencil is 4 inches.

$\bullet$ Hence, option D is the correct answer.

$\text{Probing Question:}$If the pencil is cut into half, what will be the length of each part?
A: 2 inches. As half of 4 inches is 2 inches.
