Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Produced outside the body.' In the given sentence, 'exogenous' is used to refer to factors that originate externally, such as environmental influences.
Choice B, 'Produced within the body,' is incorrect as it describes endogenous factors.
Choice C, 'Produced by the kidneys,' is incorrect as it specifies a specific organ rather than the general concept of external origin.
Choice D, 'Hereditary,' is incorrect as it relates to genetic inheritance, which is not the meaning of 'exogenous.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct phrase to complete the sentence is 'In spite of.' This phrase is used to indicate that an action is taken despite a particular circumstance or feeling. In this case, she went to the party in spite of her dislike for the host, meaning she attended the party regardless of her negative feelings towards the host.


Choice A, 'Despite of,' is incorrect as the correct phrase is 'Despite,' without the preposition 'of.'
Choice B, 'Even though,' is not the best fit in this context as it does not express the contrast between attending the party and disliking the host as effectively as 'In spite of.'
Choice C, 'Although,' is also not the most suitable choice as it is used to introduce a contrast, but 'In spite of' provides a stronger emphasis on the contradiction between attending the party and disliking the host.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is '
C) Could have gotten.' In this sentence, the verb form 'gotten' is the correct past participle form of 'get,' indicating a missed opportunity in the past.
Choice A is incorrect because 'get' is the base form of the verb, not the past participle.
Choice B is incorrect as 'got' is the past tense, not the past participle.
Choice D is incorrect because 'get' is the base form, and 'might have get' is not the correct structure for this sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Laid.' 'Laid' is the correct past tense form of 'lay,' which means to put something down. 'Layed' in choice A is incorrect as the past tense of 'lay' is 'laid,' not 'layed.'
Choice B, 'Drop,' is incorrect as it does not fit the context of placing something on the table.
Choice D, 'Lay,' is the base form of the verb and does not fit the sentence in the past tense.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.
