Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Pain tolerance denotes the point at which a person can no longer endure pain. A person's pain threshold is the lowest intensity of a stimulus that causes the subject to recognize pain.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Macropsia confirms the abuse of mescaline. In this condition, objects appear larger than the normal. Lacrimation is a symptom of narcotic abuse. Diaphoresis and dementia are symptoms of alcohol abuse; these are not the characteristic symptoms of mescaline abuse.
