Answer:
[S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized.
Explanation:
John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley" is a travelogue written about the road trip that the author took in 1960 with his poodle Charley. The travel diaries would narrate the author's trips around the United States, a country he's been writing most of his stories about.
The statement that shows a problem is <em>"[S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized."</em> This was because, despite his desire to openly and freely travel the country and see its sights, he can't do that as his photographs had been circulated as much as possible by his publisher. This means that being a famous writer, people are familiar with who he is, and that poses a problem for him to travel freely.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

<em>This excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, draws this conclusion about Claudius that he is not a popular king. </em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Claudius always cared about being a King. That’s the reason why he got King Hamlet killed at the first go. He cares about holding onto the throne which is well-understood when he marries Gertrude, the king’s widow and the mother of Prince Hamlet. He is also aware that he’s not a popular king. The public loves Hamlet for which he knows that he just can't arrest him for the murder of Polonius. Claudius’s words point towards his intentions. He wants Prince Hamlet out of his way and he knows that he has to do it in a tricky and twisted way or else the public will support Hamlet and not him.
Answer:
By keeping a thin skeleton, the sand dollar can camouflage itself in the sand.
Explanation:
Sand dollar are very small and peculiar sea urchins. They have very few predators like some fish and starfish, but they manage to get rid of predation with their own bodies, which is very useful for such a small creature. This is because sand dollars have small spines on their bodies, which in addition to allowing them to move forward on the ocean floor with great speed, allows them to hide in the sand, preventing their predators from finding them.
