Which term describes 'A counter, typically for measuring or counting'

• A. Kuntador
• B. Metro
• C. Makinang
• D. Taingang-kawali

Answer: (A)

A counter, or device used for counting, is called kuntador in Filipino. This term directly names the object used to tally numbers or track quantity, and it comes from the Spanish word contador, which means counter or calculator. That exact meaning makes it the best fit for describing a device whose purpose is counting or measuring items.

The other terms don’t match the idea of a counting device. Metro refers to a measuring instrument for length (a meter), not a count of items. Makinang means a machine in general, which is too broad and doesn’t specify counting. Taingang-kawali is a kitchen-related term and not related to counting or measurement.
