Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An El Nio develops when the trade winds weaken or even reverse and flow eastward. The warm water normally found in the western Pacific gradually sloshes eastward as a slowly moving wave, in part due to the higher sea level, and eventually makes its way to the coast of North and South America. The eastern Pacific warms, upwelling weakens, and the warm surface layer deepens both there and throughout the tropical Pacific basin. The change in sea-surface conditions linked with the change in the atmospheric pressure distribution is called the Southern Oscillation. The El Nio and Southern Oscillation are closely intertwined, and atmospheric scientists refer to their combined occurrences as ENSO events.

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. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
