The needle with the smallest bore is the ____.

  1. 18

  2. 20

  3. 22

  4. 25

The correct answer is: 25

The other options are incorrect because they are larger numbers, indicating a larger bore size for the needle. The smallest bore, or opening, will have the highest gauge number, which in this case is 25. Gauge sizes work in reverse, so as the number goes down, the bore size actually gets larger. For example, a gauge 22 needle is larger than a gauge 25 needle.
