Answer 3

the statement that tounge is the strngest muscle appears frequently in lists of surprising facts, but it is difficult to find any definition of "strength" that would make this statement true. Note that the tongue consists of sixteen muscles, not one.  

and also remember there are three factors which affects the muscle it is really difficult to determine which one is the strongest.

all have different functions to perform.
