TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you're given passages that contain mentions of names of people, places, or things. Some of these mentions refer to the same person, place, or thing. Your job is to write questions that evaluate one's understanding of such references. Good questions are expected to link pronouns (she, her, him, his, their, etc.) or other mentions to people, places, or things to which they may refer. Do not ask questions that can be answered correctly without understanding the paragraph or having multiple answers. Avoid questions that do not link phrases referring to the same entity. For each of your questions, the answer should be one or more phrases in the paragraph, and it should be unambiguous.
PROBLEM: Passage: Canadian ex-serviceman Bob Regan returns to Oldchester, the English town where he was stationed during the war, hoping to find Pat Lane, the girl he fell in love with.  He meets up with Mike Collins, an old acquaintance who now manages Oldchester United, the local football club.  He also renews his friendship with Collins' daughter Jackie.
Mike tells Bob of an odd proviso surrounding the allocation of £25,000 from the estate of a recently deceased businessman and supporter of the football club – if Oldchester United win promotion to the next division of the Football League that season the money is theirs, if not it goes to the man's nephew.  He remembers Bob as a skilful footballer, and asks him to sign up for the team to boost the promotion quest.  Bob agrees.
The nephew Nick Hammond is determined that the money will be his, and is worried that Bob's football prowess may well propel the team to on-pitch success.  He is acquainted with Pat, now living in London, and persuades her to join him in a scheme to scupper Oldchester's chances.  Knowing of Bob's fondness for Pat, and that Pat cares nothing for Bob, he proposes that if Pat can tempt Bob away from Oldchester and the football team, and the team fails in its promotion bid, he will give her a share of the inheritance.  The mercenary Pat jumps at the prospect, begins to work her charms on Bob and soon lures him to London to be with her.  He is talent-spotted by scouts, and signed up by Arsenal F.C.

SOLUTION: What's the full name of the person the daughter of the football club manager befriends?

PROBLEM: Passage: A mysterious artist - and psychopath - named Ronnie Mason, steals a dead woman's wedding ring and money and leaves a fake suicide note. The woman's husband, Thomas Turner, when questioned by the local police, believes his dead wife might have been seeing Mason behind his back. He also believes his wife was murdered, but in the absence of other evidence, the police list it as a suicide and drop the case.
Mason leaves town, changes his name to Marsh and, using a limp he acquired jumping from the dead woman's bedroom window and a veteran's pin he steals from a fellow passenger on the L.A. bus, passes himself off as a wounded soldier and rents a room in the house of public stenographer Hilda Fenchurch and her younger sister Anne. To the consternation of professor Andrew Lang, who secretly loves Hilda, she falls for Marsh.
The scheming Marsh learns that Anne might inherit a great deal of money, so he suddenly switches his affections toward her. Hilda is jealous and suspicious. She plots to lure Marsh to a beach house and poison him. She is unable to go through with it, but when Marsh runs off, he is surprised by Thomas Turner and plunges off a steep cliff to his death.

SOLUTION:
What is Ronnie's assumed last name?
