Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the "Rule of Threes", a healthy human can survive for approximately:
- 3 minutes without air
- 3 hours without shelter in harsh conditions
- 3 days without water
- 3 weeks without food

Since Jonah has already run out of food, the maximum time he can survive is 3 weeks or 21 days. However, in certain cases (such as if Jonah had excess body fat), a person can survive up to 40 days without food. Therefore, the best choice is D, which represents 40 days.
