1. The correct answer is (d) reduces muscle control. While alcohol is a depressant, it can lead to impairment of muscle control and coordination.
2. The correct answer is (d) reduce resistance to sexual assault. When Rohypnol, also known as the "date drug," is mixed with alcohol, it can lower a person's defenses and inhibit their ability to resist sexual assault.
3. The correct answer is (b) narcotics. Both morphine and heroin are classified as narcotics, which are drugs derived from opium or synthetic opioids.
4. The correct answer is (a) of the euphoric state produced by the drug. The "spaced out" feeling experienced by marijuana users is due to the drug's psychoactive effects, which can induce a sense of euphoria or altered perception.
For question 1, the correct answer is actually (c) produces feelings of happiness. To understand this, you need to know that alcohol is a depressant, meaning it slows down the body's functions and decreases activity in the central nervous system. However, alcohol also affects neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, which is associated with pleasure and reward. This can lead to a perceived feeling of happiness or euphoria, even though alcohol itself is a depressant.
For question 2, the correct answer is (d) reduce resistance to sexual assault. Rohypnol, also known as the "date drug," is a sedative that can cause drowsiness, amnesia, and muscle relaxation. When mixed with alcohol, it can further impair a person's judgment, coordination, and ability to defend themselves, making them more vulnerable to sexual assault.
For question 3, the correct answer is (b) narcotics. Both morphine and heroin belong to the class of drugs known as narcotics. Narcotics are derived from, or chemically similar to, the opium poppy and have pain-relieving properties. They are often used medically for pain management, but they also have a high potential for abuse and can produce a range of physiological and psychological effects.
For question 4, the correct answer is (a) of the euphoric state produced by the drug. Marijuana contains a psychoactive compound called THC, which interacts with the brain's endocannabinoid system and can produce feelings of euphoria or being "high." This can lead to a sense of being "spaced out" or disconnected from reality. Visual perception may also be affected, but the primary reason for the feeling is the euphoric state induced by THC, not impaired vision.
Remember, it's important to carefully consider the options and explanations, as different substances can have varying effects on the body and mind.
