Answer :
The clock reads 12:59:28 (12:59 and 28 seconds) when it is almost 4:00. This clock is precise but not accurate.
Explanation:
- Accurate means the clock correctly shows the actual time. Since the clock says 12:59:28 when it should be around 4:00, it is not showing the correct (actual) time, hence it is not accurate.
- Precise means the clock shows consistent and reliably detailed time, down to the seconds. The clock reading includes hours, minutes, and seconds (12:59:28), which demonstrates precision in its measurement. Despite being wrong about the hour and minute, it precisely indicates a specific second count.
