Question

Marc has started drinking whenever he is upset or stressed. When his friends ask him how much he drinks, he lies and makes excuses. He sees alcohol as an escape from his everyday problems. Which stage of alcoholism is Marc most likely in?

A. problem drinking
B. dependence
C. last stage

Answer 1

a or b since last stage is not a relevant answer

Answer 2

A. problem drinking

B. dependence

C. last stage

The answer is A because having a drinking problem involves drinking a lot and the other two answers that were "last stage" and "dependence" don't have anything to do with the question so A is the only and obvious answer.
