One of the significant achievements of Fahrenheit was to: O make thermometers smaller using air O make thermometers compact using alcohol O make thermometers more accurate using alcohol O make thermometers smaller using mercury

make thermometers smaller using mercury

Explanation:

Daniel Fahrenheit invented first accurate thermometer which used mercury instead of the alcohol and the water mixtures. In laboratory, he used this invention of him to develop first temperature scale which was enough precise to become the worldwide standard.

The key to the Fahrenheit's thermometer was that the mercury is able to rise and fall within tube without sticking to sides. It was ideal substance for the reading temperatures since mercury expanded at more constant rate than the alcohol and is also able to be read the temperature at much higher and also lower temperatures.
