Houdini built his career on creating tricks and illusions--freeing himself from chains and making an elephant disappear. he was also interested in exposing fraud and showing how people could be tricked into believing something was real when it wasn't. he was especially critical of the production of "spirit photographs" in which the ghost of a well-known figure appeared to be present with someone. to demonstrate his point, houdini had himself photographed with the ghost of abraham lincoln. of course it wasn't really lincoln--it was trick photography. which best represents the use of the problem/solution organizational pattern in the passage? a) problem: houdini was poor and was tired of not having enough. solution: houdini became famous to get fame, the love of women, and money. b) problem: houdini did not like elephants and wanted them gone. solution: he chained them up before making them all disappear from the zoo. c) problem: houdini did not like people being tricked out of their money. solution: houdini faked a picture of lincoln's "ghost" to expose the fraud. d) problem: houdini wanted to expose fraud by showing how people could be tricked. solution: houdini wrote a book exposing card tricks, shell games and other flim flam.

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
