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 not a sign of addiction; addiction often disrupts work attendance.
• "easily able to stop taking a drug" is the opposite of addiction, as addiction involves difficulty in stopping drug use.
• "experiencing legal problems" can result from drug addiction, as addictive drug use may lead to illegal activities (e.g., drug - related crimes, driving under the influence) or legal issues due to the impact of addiction on behavior.
• "never taking more of a particular drug" is inconsistent with addiction, as addiction can involve taking more of a drug (tolerance and craving may lead to increased use).

Answer:

C. experiencing legal problems
