Mammalogist is a person who studies about mammals. Similarly,

The correct answer is Mercury.

Key Points

• Mercury is used in thermometers because it remains in liquid form throughout a wide range of temperatures i.e -37.89 degrees Fahrenheit to 674.06 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The mercury thermometer was invented by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in Amsterdam.
• Mercury has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than alcohol. 
• A thermometer with alcohol is used to measure low temperature because its freezing point is low i.e -1170C.
• It is Impossible to measure high temperatures because it’s a low boiling point.
• The thermometer with mercury cannot be used to measure the very low temperature because its freezing point is high i.e -400C.
• Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature.
• It's used in thermometers because it has a high coefficient of expansion.
• It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures. 
• It has a shiny appearance and doesn't stick to the glass surface of the glass.

The correct answer is Plotter.

• The plotter is an output device producing continuous lines of different colours.

​Key Points

• Plotter
  • ​The plotter is used to draw Continuous lines.
  • A plotter is a printer that reads commands from a computer to make line drawings on paper with one or more automated pens.
  • The plotter can draw continuous point-to-point lines directly from vector graphics files or commands.
• There are a number of different types of plotters:
  • A drum plotter
    • Draws on paper wrapped around a drum which turns to produce one direction of the plot, while the pens move to provide the other direction.
  • A flatbed plotter
    • It draws on paper placed on a flat surface.
  • An electrostatic plotter
    • It is used to draw on negatively charged paper with positively charged toner.

Additional Information

• Daisy wheel printing 
  • It is an impact printing technology invented in 1970 by Dr. Andrew Gabor.
  • Used for high-quality text printing.
• Chain Printer
  • An early line printer that used type slugs linked together in a chain as its printing mechanism.
  • The chain spins horizontally around a set of hammers.
  • When the desired character is in front of the selected print column, the corresponding hammer hits the paper into the ribbon and onto the character in the chain.
