The McGill University student visited Houdini a second time because he: c. wanted to make a sketch.

Explanation:

Harry Houdini was a famous magician and illusionist. He visited McGill University to give a presentation to the students.

Jocelyn Gordon Whitehead and Samuel J. Smilovitz met Harry Houdini after the presentation. They decided to sketch Houdini. Jocelyn Gordon decided to challenge the strength of Houdini during the meeting. So he punched Houdini heavily in his stomach.

Houdini already suffered from aggravated appendicitis which was undetected. Hard punching on his stomach caused serious rupture in appendix which led him to death.

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
