5:A correct
6:A correct
7:D . both A and D are volumetric measures but litres are more appropriate on the scale of a barrel
8:A correct
9:D (i think) new information feelings are testable but not particularly useable as scientific data as they are subjective therefore it may be useful information, but not scientific enough to publish
12:A (100cl to l)
17:A(i think) fairly close to the standard time but not grouped well enough to be precise
