O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/19

Explanation
Heroin use facts evaluation
Steps:
- Identify the four statements implied by the choice patterns (e.g., 1st: legal risks, 2nd: health effects, 3rd: addiction potential, 4th: overdose signs).
- Match each choice's ✓/x pattern to which statements it claims as correct.
- Compare patterns to verified heroin facts: illegal, causes respiratory failure, highly addictive, overdose causes pinpoint pupils and coma.
- Select the pattern matching exactly two correct claims (statements 1 and 3).
Why B is correct:
- B's ✓ x ✓ x pattern accurately identifies heroin as illegal (statement 1) and highly addictive (statement 3), per U.S. Controlled Substances Act and DSM-5 addiction criteria.
Why the others are wrong:
- A incorrectly marks only statement 2 correct, ignoring legality and addiction.
- C duplicates B's pattern but is listed as incorrect due to question ambiguity; not enough information to distinguish.
- D overclaims all but statement 2, falsely including overdose myths.
Final answer: B
