Answer:
a. body (near the top)
b. base/bottom
c. the marking (of the desired volume) of the lower meniscus of the measured liquid
Explanation:
This question seeks to determine how to properly handle and measure a liquid using the graduated/measuring cylinder.
A bumper is a round (usually made of rubber/plastic) used to protect the glass body of a graduated cylinder from breakage when the cylinder falls/trips. It is placed around the body of the cylinder near the top of the cylinder.
While taking reading on calibrated/marked laboratory glasswares, the lower meniscus (the bottom/base of the meniscus) of the liquid is used to determine the accurate measurement.
The eyes is usually placed at the marking of the desired volume, so as to properly determine the lower meniscus and avoid error due to parallax.
The statement has been based on the measurement of the liquid with the help of the graduated cylinder.
The measurement has been performed with the movement of the round rubber known as the bumper around the body of the cylinder in order to prevent the breaking of the cylinder.
The liquid has been poured in the cylinder until the lower meniscus of the liquid has been aligned with the desired volume, while looking at the graduated cylinder from the equal level of the liquid.
