what you know
question 1 of 6
drug addiction is a clinical diagnosis that ______________.
○ anyone using substances can develop
○ people with family history cannot avoid
○ people can avoid if they really wanted to
○ only people misusing drugs can develop

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option "anyone using substances can develop": Drug addiction is a complex condition, and while not everyone who uses substances will develop addiction, it is a risk that anyone using substances (especially misusing or using certain substances) can potentially develop.
• Option "people with family history cannot avoid": Having a family history increases risk but does not mean addiction is unavoidable; many with family history do not develop addiction with proper choices and support.
• Option "people can avoid if they really wanted to": Addiction involves biological, psychological, and social factors, and it's not as simple as just "wanting to" avoid; it's a clinical disorder, so this is incorrect.
• Option "only people misusing drugs can develop": Even some who use drugs as prescribed (e.g., certain prescription medications) can develop addiction, so it's not only limited to those misusing drugs.

So the most accurate option is the first one.

Answer:

A. anyone using substances can develop
