Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

4. Addiction is a biopsychosocial problem..

Rationale:
The biopsychosocial explanation of addiction is supported by current research and takes a more holistic view of the problem. The view of addiction as a moral disease is nontherapeutic. Viewing addiction as only a behavioral or emotional problem oversimplifies a complex issue.
