% error, uncertainty, volume, sensitivity/graduation and measurements etc

Is this correct?
Vol cm3 (250cm3). smaller measurement, Sensitivity/Graduation. ↓%Error (0.2%) ?????

Larger the volume =% error reduced
Larger the volume = smaller the measurement
therefore, smaller measurement = % error reduced? but a sheet says % error larger?
Smaller the measurement = smaller/larger sensitivity/graduation????

This is confusing, can someone explain this to me like how you'd explain to a 5 year old?
