Force Out
“Three questions he put a mark by on his answer sheet. When he finished, there were still twenty minutes left. He flipped back through and studied each question, racking his brain. For the first two he was able to dig the information out of the depths of his mind. They were subtle points, details about genetic karyotypes no one should be held accountable for remembering, but which Joey did remember.

Joey knew it was “dehydration synthesis,” answer A. The trouble was that answer C said, “removing water to join molecules.” Removing water to join molecules was the definition of dehydration synthesis. He screwed up his face and ground his teeth.
