Final answer:
The two details from the text that best support the answers to Part A are:
B. "Doctors began to argue in medical journals that all forms of chronic pain should be treated more aggressively, and that opioids were not addictive when prescribed for pain." (Paragraph 5) and F. "Many people could no longer afford the drugs they had unwittingly become physically dependent on and turned to heroin to avoid withdrawal. Others, who had never been able to afford costly prescriptions but still felt the pain of unemployment and ennui." (Paragraph 12)
The answer is option ⇒B and F
Step-by-step explanation:
B. This detail supports the answer to Part A by highlighting the shift in medical opinion regarding the treatment of chronic pain. The argument made by doctors in medical journals that opioids were not addictive when prescribed for pain contributed to the overprescription and misuse of these drugs, leading to the opioid crisis.
F. This detail supports the answer to Part A by illustrating the consequences of the overprescription of opioids and the economic impact it had on individuals. The inability to afford costly prescriptions and the desire to avoid withdrawal symptoms led some individuals to turn to heroin as a cheaper alternative.
These two details provide evidence of the consequences of overprescription and the shift in medical beliefs, which are key factors in understanding the development of the opioid crisis.
The answer is option ⇒B and F
