the actual answer is that litmus is an example of an indicator because... if for example you dip a blue litmus paper into lime juice (an acid) the litmus paper will turn red because it indicates that its an acid or......... if you dip a red litmus paper into a base it will turn blue because it indicates that it is a base..... so the answer is because it indicates if its an acid or base
p.s. if the blue paper turned red---- indicates its a base
if the red paper turned blue ----- indicates its a acid or the other way around forgot... :/
hopes this helped........ :)))))))))))
