Horrible Hilarious Hiccups

At some point in your life, you've probably had the hiccups. Hiccups can be funny or annoying, but what causes them? Normally when you breathe in, a muscle in your abdomen called the diaphragm tightens, or contracts, and your lungs fill with air. Sometimes, the diaphragm contracts too quickly. What does that cause? That causes you to hiccup over and over. Normally hiccups only last for a few minutes. But in rare cases they can last for days or even weeks. The longest case of hiccups ever recorded was 68 years!

According to the text, what causes hiccups?

• Hiccups are a result of your diaphragm contracting too quickly.

• The best way to get rid of hiccups is to hold your breath.

• Hiccups are caused by chewing bubble gum.
