Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the idealizing tendency of the Romantics gradually faded away. Realist painters painted battles in unidealized ways.
2. In Liberty Leading the People, Eugne Delacroix, painting in 1830, represents Liberty as an idealized allegorical figure.
3. However, the battle is not idealized. Delacroix represents the dead in a realistic manner, and Notre-Dame Cathedral is shrouded in smoke.
4. Almost twenty years later, Ernest Meissonier's Memory of Civil War, painted from a sketch made at the scene during the 1848 revolution, abandons any idealistic or noble view and represents a grisly scene of the dead.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: For Jefferson, the Greek orders embodied democratic ideals, possessing order and harmony as well as a moral perfection deriving from measure and proportion.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs.
