Explanation:

To determine signs of alcoholism (a chronic dependency on alcohol):

• "An inability to limit drinking" shows loss of control over alcohol intake, a key sign.
• "The continued use of alcohol despite repeated problems" indicates prioritizing alcohol over resolving issues, typical of alcoholism.
• "Occasional binge drinking" is not chronic dependency (occasional ≠ dependency).
• "Strong cravings for alcohol" reflect psychological dependence, a sign.
• "An inability to consume more than three drinks" is the opposite of alcoholism (suggests control, not dependency).

Answer:

• an inability to limit drinking
• the continued use of alcohol despite repeated problems
• strong cravings for alcohol
