multiple choice
the higher-order thinking skills seem to be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol consumption because the ____ is affected ____.

• liver, by making acetic acid
• brain, front to back
• small intestine, by secreting the alcohol
• brain, by slowly decaying

Explanation:

Higher-order thinking skills (e.g., decision-making, reasoning) rely on the prefrontal cortex (front of the brain). Alcohol affects the brain from front to back, impairing the prefrontal cortex first, which explains why higher-order skills are more sensitive to alcohol.

Answer:

B. Brain, front to back
