Question for numbers 1-3

A career is an individual’s journey through learning, work, and other aspects of life. There are a number
of ways to define a career and the term is used in a variety of ways. Everybody who has a career exactly
wants to advance their career.

If you want to advance your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about which jobs you
take. Consider a job offered for the value it has to your career. It may mean sacrifices at first.

You may have to move to a different region or country to get a job that is right for you. You may have to
work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to take a lower salary for a job that offers
you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a job if it is not related to your career
goals.

Accepting a job that is not within your career path will not give you the skill or experience you need or
want. You will find yourself frustrated in such a position and consequently will not perform your best.

Vegetarians

and the economy.

A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly eat fruit,
vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy products, but

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should
get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs.
Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might
accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still
be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.

Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is
better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and
wholesalers should be imprisoned.

8. Most drug users get drugs from ...

A. Jails

B. Peddlers

C. Traffickers
