    The tongue is the strongest muscle in the body.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The tongue is often mistakenly believed to be the strongest muscle in the body, but this is not true. While the tongue is indeed a strong muscle, it is not the strongest. The muscles in the jaw, particularly the masseter muscle, are actually the strongest in the body. These muscles are responsible for chewing and can exert an incredible amount of force. So, while the tongue is important for various functions such as speaking and swallowing, it is not the strongest muscle in the body.
