Answer:

The answer could be B. Social but the correct answer is C. Medicinal.

Explanation:

Medicinal substance use happens when individuals use certain substances such as marijuana, alcohol and other psychotropics to alleviate certain physical or psychological symptoms. Thus, the goal of consuming the drug is not entertainment, but relief.

In this particular case, Gil feels anxious and depressed a lot, he also dreads the thought of having to speak in front of others at school and feels nervous around people. He uses marihuana and alcohol to alleviate those psychological symptoms which means that Gil's substance use is medicinal.

On a cosmic calendar, in which the history of the universe is compressed into 1 year, when did the dinosaurs become extinct? On
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

On the 30th of December which equates to 0.065 billion years ago

Explanation:

The cosmic calendar was made popular by a famous astronomer named Carl Sagan. His aim was to help people to better understand when a particular prehistoric event in the universe occurred when compared to another prehistoric event.

He achieved the aim by chronologically arranging the 13.8 billion years of the universe age into one year. According to such arrangement, the Big Bang occurred on the 1st of January (13.8 billion years ago) while Dinosaurs went into extinction on the  30th of December (0.065 billion years ago).

Following their extinction, the age of primates began on the 31st of December (Just 40 million years ago). You can see that Carl Sagan's visualization puts the beginning of primates (which men evolved from) immediately after the extinction of Dinosaurs and very far away from the Big Bang that signifies the creation of the universe.
