Which description matches an ectomorph body type?

• A. Broad shoulders
• B. Narrow shaped body
• C. Pear shaped body
• D. Muscular torso

Answer: (B)

In this question we’re looking at body types based on somatotypes. An ectomorph is typically a lean, light frame with narrow shoulders and a slender build, with little body fat or muscle mass. So the description that matches an ectomorph is a narrow shaped body. Broad shoulders and a muscular torso describe a more muscular, wider frame typical of a mesomorph. A pear-shaped body describes fat distribution more common in an endomorph.
