Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
To receive stimuli and respond appropriately, the brain must be alert or aroused. The reticular activating system (RAS) mediates arousal.

Gustatory sensations equate to taste. Repeating words assesses auditory function. Reading a paragraph assesses visual disturbances. Smelling assesses for olfactory disturbances.
