What is the purpose of the yard?

As you guys said it is also used for measurement, but what we measure in that?
Marshall said:   9 years ago
A yard is a unit of measurement.

I think the correct choice should have been centimeter. Centimeter is in the metric system. The other options are not.

I think 'yard' means an area of land in which a particular type of work is done, often one from which goods are sold.
Faizi said:   1 decade ago
Anyone please explain the meaning of yard.

It's a terrible question because classification by either scale or context are both different within the set, so there are two answers that meet the provided criteria.

I agree with @Mahantesh distance is measured in inch, yard, and cm but weight is measured in ounce.
Prasaanth said:   1 decade ago
Ounce is correct answer because distance cannot be connected with weight.
Deepe said:   1 decade ago
Ounce is used to measure weight only. So 'c' is correct option.
Mahantesh said:   1 decade ago
In my view the distance is measured in inch,cm and yard but weight is measured in ounce.
Geeta said:   1 decade ago
As Per my opinion Inch, ounce, Yard connected to each other. Then the answer should be Option- C.
