Multiple Choice

Which container size is not permitted?

In dry measuring, container capacities are fixed by defined amounts. A peck equals eight quarts, so any fraction of a peck converts to a standard quart or smaller unit. Here, 1/8 of a peck is the same volume as one quart. Since a quart is already an established container size, describing it as a fraction of a peck isn’t introducing a distinct size. The other options map to actual, recognized capacities (two quarts for 1/4 peck, one quart as a dry quart, and one pint). So the container described as 1/8 peck isn’t a separate size, making it the not-permitted choice.
