Answer 1

yes you are correct

Answer 2

Categorized by whom? It is a depressant. It is also a drug, but it is legal, so is categorized differently by the Federal government. Medical diagnostic manuals also differ on how to categorize it as a "drug", an addictive substance, or just what to call it. The "correct" answer is in your assigned reading.

Answer 3

I think it is 1 and 3, like your choice. I have the same question in my quiz.
