Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Function of a Spirit Level
A spirit level is a tool used to determine whether a surface is level (horizontal) or plumb (vertical). It contains a liquid-filled vial with an air bubble that moves to the center when the surface is level or plumb.
Step 2: Analyzing the Options
"In the vertical or horizontal position": This suggests the spirit level can be used both ways.
"Only in the vertical position": This limits its use to checking plumb.
"Only in the horizontal position": This limits its use to checking level.
"In any position": This suggests versatility beyond just vertical or horizontal.
Step 3: Determining the Correct Usage
A spirit level is designed to be used both horizontally and vertically to check for level and plumb, respectively. Therefore, it can be used in both the vertical and horizontal positions.
