Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions from (i) to (v):
The use of a universal indicator, which is a mixture of several indicators, can be helpful in judging how strong a given acid or base is. The universal indicator shows different colours at different concentrations of hydrogen ions in a solution. Here is a scale for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in a solution, called pH scale. The ‘p’ in pH stands for potenz in German, meaning power. On the pH scale, we can measure pH from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline).
pH should be thought of simply as a number which indicates the acidic or basic nature of a solution. Higher the hydronium ion concentration, lower is the pH value.
The pH of a neutral solution is 7. Values less than 7 on the pH scale represent an acidic solution. As the pH value increases from 7 to 14, it represents an increase in ion concentration in the solution, that is, increase in the strength of alkali.

(i) When hydrogen chloride gas is prepared on a humid day, the gas is usually passed through the guard tube containing calcium chloride. The role of calcium chloride taken in the guard tube is to:
absorb the evolved gas
moisten the gas
absorb moisture from the gas
absorb ions from the evolved gas
