The tunnels extended for approximately how many miles?

The tunnels extended for approximately how many miles?

• A. 11 miles
• B. 5 miles
• C. 20 miles
• D. 2 miles

Answer: (A)

The value being tested is your ability to pick a reasonably close estimate for the length of a tunnel system. In WWII-scale tunnel projects, a figure in the low double digits often represents a substantial, connected network without being extraordinarily vast. Eleven miles fits that sense of scale well: long enough to be clearly extensive and significant, but not so long as to imply an extreme, unusually large system. Five miles would suggest a smaller network, two miles even more modest, and twenty miles would imply a very large, sprawling system. So eleven miles is the best match for the described tunnel length.
