All of your answers are right -- except for one.

Your answer for 6 is wrong -- but it's a misleading group of words. Naive is spelled correctly. But NICKLE is not the usual spelling for our 5-cent coin. Check a dictionary. Also check a dictionary for 22.

ok for #6. NICKLE = nickel

and for #22. i think it's X-chromosome...but i'm not sure
