Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Researchers have identified a number of factors in the predisposition to substance abuse and dependence. These factors include genetics, personality, and culture. The disorder is not, however, solely rooted in culture or wholly misunderstood. It is simplistic to understand the disorder as resulting from impaired coping and lack of willpower.

C
