Which arrangement of the steps is the most logical?

I. Your eyes must be at the level of the graduated cylinder. Do not pick it up. II. Pour the liquid to be measured into the graduated cylinder.
III. Place the graduated cylinder on a flat solid surface.

II---I---III
III---I---II
I---III---II
I---II---III

you don't say what your objective is, but I'd guess III II I

But I guess you will have to actually try the experiment to determine which choice you would make.

There is no III--II--I in the choices given below.

though these steps are part of an experiment involving measurement of volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder.

Since III must be first, what do you think?

The most logical arrangement of the given steps would be:

III---I---II

Explanation:

1. The first step (III) is to place the graduated cylinder on a flat solid surface. This is important to ensure stability and accuracy while measuring.

2. The second step (I) is to position your eyes at the level of the graduated cylinder. It is important not to pick it up since the eye level position ensures that you can accurately read the volume of the liquid in the cylinder.

3. The final step (II) is to pour the liquid to be measured into the graduated cylinder. This step comes last because you need to first set up the proper conditions (level surface and eye level position) before pouring the liquid.

By following this logical arrangement of steps, you can ensure correct measurements with the graduated cylinder.
