Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Alcohol withdrawal can lead to convulsions, hallucinations, and insomnia on the physical level and nervousness and a reduced sense of self-worth on the psychological level. The withdrawal symptoms of a drug are often the opposite of the effects of taking the drug. For example, alcohol, which helps a person relax, can lead to insomnia and anxiety when use is discontinued.
