Answer 1

If someone swallowed glass, the layer of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that would be most likely to suffer damage is the **mucosa**. The mucosa is the innermost lining of the GI tract and is in direct contact with ingested materials, making it most susceptible to abrasions and injuries from sharp objects like glass.
