What feelings does nicotine cause upon reaching the brain?

Concept

Literal-comprehension questions ask for information stated directly in a passage.

The reliable method is to locate the stem’s key terms, read the matching sentence, and preserve its stated cause-and-effect link.

Application

The stem asks about the feeling produced after nicotine reaches the brain. The passage says that nicotine reaches the brain within 20 seconds and causes nerve stimulation, resulting in a feeling of euphoria.

Contrast

• Sleepiness means drowsiness or reduced alertness.

• Depression refers to a persistently low or depressed mood.

• Hunger is the bodily sensation that prompts a person to seek food.

• Euphoria is a strong feeling of pleasure, excitement, or well-being.

Cross-check

Reading the complete sentence preserves the sequence: entry into circulation, arrival at the brain, nerve stimulation, and then the named feeling. The passage names euphoria at the end of this sequence.

Therefore, the answer is euphoria.
