Explanation
Measure means to find the size, length, or amount of something. For example, she measured the table before buying a cloth. As a noun, it can mean an action taken to achieve a result, like the government took measures to keep people safe during the flooding. It can also mean a unit used to compare sizes, lengths, or amounts in a clear way. For example, a “cup” shows how much liquid you need in cooking, and a “meter” shows how long something is. These units help you see how much one thing has compared to another. If one bottle has 1 cup of water and another has 2 cups, you can easily see the second bottle has more.
