Can a gage block comparator with a range specification of 0 inches to 4 inches be used to calibrate a 105 mm gage block?

The reasoning for the correct choice indicates that the gage block comparator has a specified measuring range of 0 inches to 4 inches, which is equivalent to approximately 0 mm to 101.6 mm. A 105 mm gage block exceeds this range, making it impossible for the comparator to accurately measure or calibrate that block. Calibration requires that the measuring device be capable of measuring the entire range of the item to be calibrated. Since 105 mm is larger than the maximum measurement of the comparator, it falls outside its capability, rendering the use of the comparator for this calibration task inappropriate.
