Question

question 4 / 5
lately, you notice your friend changing a lot. yesterday, you found a bottle of vodka in her backpack. when you talked to her about it, she denied that it was hers. which statement best supports the idea that your best friend may have a drinking problem?
she is hiding her alcohol use from friends and family
she talks about drinking all the time
she has tried to cut down on her drinking before

Explanation:

To determine which statement supports a drinking problem, we analyze each option:

• "She is hiding her alcohol use from friends and family": Hiding alcohol use is a common sign of a drinking problem, as those with issues often try to conceal their consumption.
• "She talks about drinking all the time": While talking about drinking could be related, it's not as strong an indicator as hiding use.
• "She has tried to cut down on her drinking before": Trying to cut down doesn't necessarily mean she currently has a problem; it could be a past attempt unrelated to current issues.

Hiding alcohol use aligns with typical behaviors of someone with a drinking problem.

Answer:

She is hiding her alcohol use from friends and family
