Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In children, anabolic steroids may accelerate epiphyseal maturation so it occurs more quickly than linear growth, thus compromising adult height.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Anabolic steroids promote anabolic (rather than catabolic) activity by blocking cortisol uptake in muscle and liver cells.
