Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Gynecomastia is overdevelopment of breast tissues in males. It is not a lack of breast develop-ment. It is not a type of breast cancer nor is it associated with inflammation of the mammary glands.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STI in the United States. It is associated with both ure-thritis and epididymitis as well as being the leading cause of infertility for both men and women. This is not true for syphilis or gonorrhea. Herpes is a virus.
