Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that accurately measuring the volume of a liquid requires a tool designed for precise volume readings.
Recognize that a test tube is primarily used for holding or mixing small amounts of liquid, not for precise volume measurement.
Know that an Erlenmeyer flask is mainly used for mixing and heating liquids, and its volume markings are approximate, not highly accurate.
Identify that a beaker is used for holding and roughly measuring liquids, but its graduations are not very precise.
Conclude that a graduated cylinder is specifically designed with fine graduations to measure liquid volumes accurately, making it the best choice for this purpose.
