Hunger pangs usually begin ______ after the previous meal.
Correct answer: D. 12-24 hours
- A. 2-4 hours
- B. 6-8 hours
- C. 10-12 hours
- D. 12-24 hours
Explanation
Hunger pangs are rhythmic stomach contractions that commonly become noticeable about 12 to 24 hours after the previous meal, especially when the stomach is empty. The likely alternative is 2 to 4 hours, which confuses the time of early digestion and gastric emptying with the usual interval before strong hunger contractions.
