(b) Both scales assign the same temperature to the ice point, but they as- sign different temperatures to the steam point. (c) Both scales assign the same temperature to the steam point, but they assign different temperatures to the ice point. (d) The Celsius scale assigns the same values to the ice and the steam points that the Kelvin scale assigns. (e) The size of the degree on each scale is the same.
