{'cuboidal epithelium': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'oesophagus': [0, 0, 1, 3], 'tissues': [6, 0, 3, 7], 'squamous epithelium': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'striated muscle': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'smooth muscle': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mouth': [3, 0, 2, 4], 'delicate lining': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'accident': [1, 0, 1, 5]}

The delicate lining of the mouth and the esophagus is made up of a specific type of tissue. Let`s analyze each of the options to determine which tissue would be affected in a case of injury to this lining.

Option 1: Smooth muscle - Smooth muscle is not the type of tissue that lines the mouth and esophagus. It is found in organs such as the intestines and blood vessels. Therefore, smooth muscle would not be affected in this case.

Option 2: Cuboidal epithelium - Cuboidal epithelium is a type of tissue made up of cube-shaped cells. It is typically found in glands and ducts, but not in the lining of the mouth and esophagus. Therefore, cuboidal epithelium would not be affected in this case.

Option 3: Squamous epithelium - Squamous epithelium is a type of tissue made up of flat, scale-like cells. It is the tissue that lines the mouth and esophagus, making it the correct answer. In case of injury to the lining, the squamous epithelium would be affected.

Option 4: Striated muscle - Striated muscle is the type of muscle tissue found in skeletal muscles. It is not the tissue that lines the mouth
