Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Abstinence and relapse should be viewed as a process rather than distinct events. Recovery is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Success can be measured by improvements, whereas relapse can be viewed as an error from which to learna temporary setback on the road to recovery.
