Why is a pencil held at arm's length while measuring during drawing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To check proportions and angles

This is the sighting or comparative-measurement method used in observational drawing. Holding the pencil at a fixed arm’s length creates a consistent viewing scale, allowing the artist to compare widths, heights, alignments, and angles of the object. Thus option B is correct. The pencil is not being used as a sharpener or cutting tool, and colour mixing is unrelated. Keeping the arm and viewing position steady improves the reliability of the comparison.
