The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question states that the pressure of a gas enclosed in a container can be measured using a manometer. We need to determine if this statement is true or false. 2. **Definition of a Manometer**: A manometer is a device specifically designed to measure the pressure of gases or liquids. It typically consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid (often mercury or water) and is used to compare the pressure of the gas in the container to the atmospheric pressure. 3. **Function of a Manometer**: When the gas pressure in the container is applied to one side of the manometer, it causes the liquid in the tube to move. The difference in height of the liquid columns in the two arms of the U-tube indicates the pressure of the gas relative to atmospheric pressure. 4. **Conclusion**: Since a manometer is indeed used to measure the pressure of a gas, the statement in the question is true. 5. **Final Answer**: True. ---
