<p><strong>Answer Key:</strong>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong>
- Items 1 and 6 both target sodium channels but through opposite mechanisms (stimulation vs. blockage), which is why they map to separate entries (d and j). This distinction is a key teaching point from the presentation.
- Distractors: (f) mitochondria and (i) juvenile hormone receptors are legitimate target sites discussed elsewhere in the presentation but do not match the classes listed in Column A.</p>

<p><strong>Answer Key:</strong>
1 → c, 2 → a, 3 → e, 4 → f, 5 → b, 6 → g, 7 → d, 8 → h, 9 → i, 10 → j</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong>
- This exercise tests understanding of both the target site AND the specific mode of action (stimulation vs. blockage vs. inhibition) — the core teaching framework of the presentation.
- Distractors: (k) mitochondrial disruption is discussed for products like hydramethylnon but is not paired with any Column A item; (l) is a plausible-sounding but incorrect mechanism not described in the presentation.</p>

<p><strong>Answer Key:</strong>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong>
- This exercise bridges the gap between toxicology and practice — the section of the presentation Scharf described as "where toxicology interfaces with practice."
- Distractors: (i) is plausible-sounding but reverses the relationship (formulations don't increase LD50 for targets); (j) is a fabricated mechanism not described in the presentation.</p>
