Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue

Which best describes epithelial tissues? – Read carefully
Composed of rows and or stacks of neatly arranged cells of similar type. They have very little extra cellular matrix, they form glands and cover and line other tissues

Which statement best describes connective tissues?
A mixture of cell types surrounded by large quantities of extra-cellular matrix. The matrix can be solid, or liquid and often contains fibres.
