Question:

Read the passage and answer the question that follows. "The forensic chemist's notebook is not merely a record of reagents and reactions; it is a legal document. Every entry must withstand cross-examination, where a defence counsel may exploit the smallest ambiguity to cast doubt on the chain of custody. Precision in language, therefore, is as vital as precision in measurement: a vague verb can invalidate months of analysis." What is the central idea of the passage?

1.
Forensic chemists should abandon notebooks in favour of digital records.
2.
Precise documentation is essential because the notebook serves as legal evidence.
3.
Defence counsels rarely succeed in challenging laboratory procedures.
4.
Accuracy in measurement matters far more than accuracy in language.

Correct Answer: Precise documentation is essential because the notebook serves as legal evidence.

The passage treats the notebook as a legal document exposed to cross-examination, so it argues that precise wording is as vital as precise measurement.
