Explanation:

Question 17

The prefix "narco - " comes from the Greek word "narke" which means numbness or sleep. For example, in the word "narcosis", it relates to a state of sleep or unconsciousness due to a drug, but the root meaning of the prefix "narco - " is "sleep". "Drug" is too general, "unconscious" is a state related to the effect of substances with "narco - " but not the definition of the prefix itself, and "illicit" has no relation to the meaning of "narco - ".

Lou Gehrig's disease is the common name for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Cerebral Palsy is a disorder affecting movement and muscle tone due to brain damage, Multiple Sclerosis is a disease affecting the central nervous system's myelin sheath, and Parkinson's Disease is related to the loss of dopamine - producing neurons. So the correct alternative name for Lou Gehrig's disease is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Answer:

sleep
