Question

Large intestine is about .......... in length.

• A. 1 metre
• B. 1.5 metre
• C. 2.5 metre
• D. 3.5 metre

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1.5 metre

The small intestine in adults is a long and narrow tube about 7 meters (23 feet) long. The large intestine is so called because it is wide in diameter. However, it is shorter than the small intestine - only about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
