The best reason is: "The beaker's wide mouth allows the thermometer to rest against the side."

Explanation: a beaker's wide mouth makes it easy to insert a thermometer or stirrer and to add or remove reagents. (Note: when measuring temperature the thermometer bulb should be immersed in the liquid but not touching the glass side.)
