Answer

Longer

Explanation

1. Understand the Sun's Position The shadow length depends on the sun's angle. As the sun rises or sets, shadows are longer; at noon, they are shortest.2. Determine Time Relation If measured 1 hour before a marked time (assuming the marked time is closer to noon), the sun would be lower in the sky.3. Predict Shadow Length A lower sun angle results in a longer shadow compared to when the sun is higher.
