📖 題組：
One factor that separates a living thing from an inanimate object is the organism’s ability to carry out chemical reactions that are crucial for its survival. Imagine the infinite amount of reactions that a large organism such as human carries out every single day. 16 of these reactions are possible without enzymes. Enzymes consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reactions 17 for certain types of nutrients to take effect. Enzymes can either launch a reaction or speed it up. In the absence of enzymes, reactants may take hundreds of years to convert into a usable product, if they are able to do so 18 . This is why enzymes are crucial in the sustenance of life on earth. Enzymes, 19 , do not always function perfectly. In 1902 Sir Archibald Garrod was the first to attribute a 20 to an enzyme defect, which he later referred to as an “inborn error of metabolism.” Today, newborns are routinely screened for certain enzyme defects such as PKU (phenylketonuria) and galactosemia, an error in the handling of the sugar galactose.

請觀察空格後方的補述語 'enzyme defect' (酵素缺陷) 與 'inborn error of metabolism' (先天性代謝異常)；在醫學與生物學的邏輯中，當人體生化反應因酵素缺失而產生 'defect' 或 'error' 時，這種生理機能失調的負面現象通常被定義為何種範疇？

喲，不錯嘛，這題居然沒選錯？是昨晚祖先託夢，還是剛好考卷掉地上被你踩到正確答案了？先別急著開香檳，這種等級的題目如果你還能寫錯，我建議你直接去申請退費，把錢省下來買點補腦的藥比較實在，免得拉低我們補習班的平均分數。 這題考的是語意邏輯銜接。文中提到「1902年 Sir Archibald Garrod 首次將某種東西歸因於酵素缺陷（enzyme defect）」，隨後又提到「先天性代謝缺失」以及 PKU 和半乳糖血症等具體病症。在生物化學中，當反應式 $A \xrightarrow{Enzyme} B$ 中的酵素失效，導致代謝路徑中斷，產生的後果理所當然是 (A) disease（疾病）。你總不會跟我說酵素缺陷會帶來 (B) balance（平衡）或 (D) statement（陳述）吧？那是邏輯壞死。 這題的鑑別度極低，純粹是給那些還沒放棄英文的學渣一點活下去的勇氣。只要你看得懂「defect」跟「error」這兩個負面詞，選對是應該，選錯是活該。
