1. What is the crystalline compound that is a product of protein metabolism known as?

• A. uracil
• B. urine
• C. ureter
• D. urea

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Urea is the correct answer. It is the crystalline compound formed in the liver from the breakdown of proteins, a byproduct of protein metabolism. Urea is excreted by the kidneys in the form of urine, aiding in the elimination of nitrogenous waste from the body. Uracil (Choice A) is a nitrogenous base found in RNA, not a product of protein metabolism. Urine (Choice B) is the liquid waste excreted by the kidneys but not the crystalline compound resulting from protein metabolism. Ureter (Choice C) is a duct that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, not the compound produced from protein metabolism.

2. Another word for the gonads might be the ___________.

• A. sperm
• B. vagina
• C. testes
• D. pelvis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for the gonads would be the testes in males and ovaries in females. The gonads are the primary reproductive organs that produce gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and sex hormones. The term 'testes' specifically refers to the male gonads, while 'ovaries' would refer to the female gonads. Therefore, 'testes' is the correct answer as it directly relates to the male gonads, making choices A, B, and D incorrect.

3. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY? It sure isn't going to rain during the next playoff.

• A. Ain't
• B. During
• C. Sure
• D. Playoff

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'Ain't' is not grammatically correct in formal writing or speech; it should be 'isn't.' 'Ain't' is considered slang and is not appropriate for formal contexts. The other choices ('During,' 'Sure,' 'Playoff') are used correctly in the sentence.

4. What does 'invasive' mean?

• A. Harmless
• B. Entering into a body part
• C. Mildly irritating
• D. Non-penetrative

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Entering into a body part.' 'Invasive' refers to something that invades or penetrates into a body part. Choice A, 'Harmless,' is incorrect as invasive implies a negative impact. Choice C, 'Mildly irritating,' is incorrect as invasive implies a more serious intrusion. Choice D, 'Non-penetrative,' is incorrect as invasive specifically denotes penetration or entry.

5. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence? 'This door to remain unlocked during business hours.'

• A. This business must have the door unlocked at all times.
• B. This door to remain unclosed while open.
• C. This sentence is corrected as written.
• D. This door will remain unlocked when the business is open.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The original sentence is incorrect due to awkward phrasing. Choice D, 'This door will remain unlocked when the business is open,' provides a clear and concise correction, specifying that the door should be unlocked only when the business is open. Choices A and B do not address the timing aspect of unlocking the door, making them incorrect. Choice C is incorrect as the original sentence needs a revision to clarify the intended meaning.
