Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
One positive development is that teen use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco has declined. The rate of current alcohol use among youths aged 12 to 17 was 13.6 in 2010, which was lower than the 2009 rate (14.7). Marijuana is almost the only licit or illicit drug showing significant 5-year increases.
