Which term describes measuring cups that fit into one another?

• A. Nested
• B. Stacked
• C. Adjustable
• D. Collapsible

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing vocabulary for how kitchen tools are designed to store. Measuring cups that fit into one another are described as nested. This term captures the way smaller cups slip inside larger ones, allowing the whole set to be stored compactly. Think of a stack of sizes that neatly tuck inside each other when not in use.

Why this fits: nested conveys the relationship of the set members to each other—each cup is sized to fit inside a larger one, forming a single, compact group.

Why the other terms don’t fit: stacked would imply piling or placing cups on top of each other rather than inside, adjustable refers to a single cup whose size can be changed, and collapsible describes cups that fold or compress, not the standard inside-each-other storage of a typical set.
