Answer 1

i don't get the question.  are you sure that's how it's phrased on the assignment?

Answer 2

The capillaries are one Red Blood Cell thick, so even though they are tiny, it is just the perfect size for an RBC to pass through.  Because it is one RBC thick, they march single file, sort of like army men.
