    ______ is a non-standard unit for measuring length.

    A)  Handspan      

    B)         Cubit                         

    C)         Footspan       

    D)         All of these                 

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Non-standard units of measurement are those which keep varying. E.g.: any length can be measured to be 10 handspan long by a child while the same table can be measured to be 5 handspan long by an adult. Similarly, measurement of length varies with cubit and footspan. However, it may be 1 metre long independent of who measured it. Thus, metre is a standard unit of measurement of length.
