Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: A sudden, involuntary, strong muscle contraction is called a spasm. An adhesion is scar tissue forming in the fascia surrounding the muscle, making it difficult to stretch the muscle.

C
Explanation: A combining vowel is never used between a prefix and a word root. A combining vowel is used between two word roots or between a word root and suffix when the suffix begins with a consonant.
