Answer: Option C. -> impairs
Drinking too much alcohol can negatively affect the brain, resulting in impaired judgment, perception, and coordination. Impaired judgment is one of the most common effects of alcohol consumption. This means that a person who is under the influence of alcohol may have difficulty making rational decisions or evaluating situations accurately.
The term "impairment" is commonly used to describe the effects of alcohol on the brain and body. Impairment refers to any functional or structural abnormality that interferes with a person's ability to perform activities of daily living, including driving, working, and socializing.
Some of the common impairments associated with alcohol consumption include:
  1. Impaired judgment: As discussed earlier, alcohol can affect a person's ability to make sound decisions.
  2. Impaired motor coordination: Alcohol can slow down the brain's ability to transmit signals to the muscles, resulting in impaired coordination and balance.
  3. Slurred speech: Alcohol can affect the muscles in the tongue and throat, making it difficult to speak clearly.
  4. Memory lapses: Alcohol can affect the brain's ability to store and retrieve memories.
  5. Reduced inhibitions: Alcohol can lower a person's inhibitions, making them more likely to engage in risky behaviors.

Formula:There is no specific formula to explain the effect of alcohol on judgment. However, it is known that alcohol consumption affects the neurotransmitters in the brain, resulting in impaired cognitive function, including judgment.
In conclusion, option C, Impairs, is the correct answer to the given question. Drinking too much alcohol can impair a person's judgment, resulting in poor decision-making abilities, which can have negative consequences on their personal and professional life. It is important to practice responsible drinking habits and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> look
The sentence indicates that the daughter is feeling guilty and is afraid to make eye contact with the person speaking, presumably the narrator or the parent. Among the given options, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "look." Here's why:
  • Look means to direct one's gaze toward someone or something. In this context, it implies making eye contact.
  • Confront means to face a challenging situation or person, often with the intention of resolving a conflict. It doesn't fit the context because there's no indication of a conflict that needs to be resolved.
  • Encounter means to meet or come across someone unexpectedly. While it could be used in the sentence, it doesn't convey the sense of guilt or fear that the sentence implies.
  • Meet means to come into the presence or company of someone, often for the first time. It's a more neutral word that doesn't capture the emotional tone of the sentence.
Therefore, the most appropriate word is "look," which conveys the sense of guilt and fear associated with the situation.
Formula:No specific formula is required for this question. However, it is important to understand the definitions of the words given in the options and their contextual usage to determine the correct answer.
In conclusion, the correct answer is Option A - look. The sentence indicates that the daughter is feeling guilty and is afraid to make eye contact with the person speaking. Among the given options, "look" is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
