Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that connects two other parts of the body.
Rationale 2: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that connects two other parts of the body.
Rationale 3: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that extends from the mouth to the anus.
Rationale 4: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that extends from the mouth to another part of the body.
