Question 3

Depressants are substances that slow down the central nervous system. Stimulants speed it up, narcotics are for pain relief and can be addictive but their main action isn't just CNS relaxation, hallucinogens cause hallucinations, and tranquilizers (a type of depressant) also relax the CNS. But the term "depressants" is the broader category here for substances that relax CNS and can be addictive long - term.

Aggressive drivers are often young, male, and in an angry mood. Aggressive drivers usually believe they have superior driving skills, not inferior. So the option that is not a characteristic of aggressive drivers is the one about believing they have inferior driving skills.

Answer:

a) Depressants
