The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of correct matches in the provided statements, we will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Cancer - Cells lose contact inhibition** - **Explanation**: In cancer, cells do lose contact inhibition, which is a regulatory mechanism that prevents cells from dividing uncontrollably. When this mechanism fails, it leads to uncontrolled cell growth, characteristic of cancer. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement II: Crack or coke - Usually snorted** - **Explanation**: Crack and coke are forms of cocaine. While they can be snorted, they are more commonly smoked. Therefore, saying they are "usually snorted" is misleading. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Statement III: Hashish - A cannabinoid** - **Explanation**: Hashish is indeed a product derived from the cannabis plant and is classified as a cannabinoid. Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with the endocannabinoid system in the body. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement IV: Smoking - Causes lymphoma** - **Explanation**: Smoking is a known risk factor for various types of cancer, including lymphoma. It has been linked to an increased risk of Hodgkin's lymphoma and other lymphatic cancers. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 5. **Statement V: Hepatitis B - Transmitted by sexual contact and needles** - **Explanation**: Hepatitis B is indeed transmitted through body fluids, including sexual contact and sharing needles. This statement accurately describes two of the primary modes of transmission for the virus. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Summary of Findings: - Statement I: Correct - Statement II: Incorrect - Statement III: Correct - Statement IV: Correct - Statement V: Correct ### Total Correct Matches: There are **four correct matches** (I, III, IV, and V). ---
