Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of the question: it asks for a device commonly used in the laboratory to accurately determine the volume of a liquid.
Recall the function of each listed device: a Bunsen burner is used for heating substances, filter paper is used for separating solids from liquids, and a test tube is used to hold or mix small amounts of substances.
Identify the device specifically designed to measure liquid volume: a graduated cylinder is marked with precise volume graduations, allowing for accurate measurement of liquids.
Recognize that while other devices can hold liquids, they do not provide accurate volume measurements like a graduated cylinder does.
Conclude that the graduated cylinder is the correct choice for accurately determining the volume of a liquid in the laboratory.
