How many acres does a section of land contain?

  1. 160

  2. 320

  3. 640

  4. 1280

The correct answer is: 640

A section of land typically contains 640 acres. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are all divisible by 160 and would not make sense in the context of acres. For example, 160 acres is equivalent to 1/4 of a section and 1280 acres is equivalent to 2 sections, making them both unreasonable answers. Option C is the only choice that accurately reflects the commonly accepted amount of acres in a section of land.
