equivalent to ‘
worst case scenario depression
’ in the question. Also, in that 
situation, ‘
psychiatric hospitalization’

+ Therefore, the correct answer for Q1 should be 
E
.
2.
+ Question 2 is about some cases when

tend to be ‘
at higher risk of resorting to drug abuse or even suicide attempts
’ in 
comparison with the rest.
+ Therefore, the answer for Q3 should be 
C.
4. 
+ Take a look at the third sentence of paragraph A: ‘society’s attitude’ is 
equivalent to ‘general public’s awareness’, and ‘depression and similar illnesses’ 
is also equal to ‘mental illness and related conditions’.
+ The question is about the public’s response towards some illnesses people have 
to suffer from. Also, paragraph A mentions the information.
