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.
