Question

which characteristic is a sign of drug addiction?
○ regular work attendance
○ easily able to stop taking a drug
○ experiencing legal problems
○ never taking more of a particular drug

Explanation:

To determine a sign of drug addiction, we analyze each option:

• "Regular work attendance" is a positive behavior, not a sign of addiction.
• "Easily able to stop taking a drug" contradicts addiction, as addiction involves difficulty in stopping drug use.
• "Experiencing legal problems" can result from drug - related activities (e.g., possession, distribution, or impaired behavior leading to legal issues), which is a common consequence of drug addiction.
• "Never taking more of a particular drug" is inconsistent with addiction, as addiction often involves compulsive use and taking more than intended.

Answer:

C. experiencing legal problems
