TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown an extract from a movie plot. You need to read the extract and create questions that can be answered from the extract. The questions should be well-formed and grammatically correct. The questions should be completely answerable from the given passage and should not require any external knowledge. Subjective questions are not allowed. Create questions that result in factoid answers. A simple rule of thumb to decide whether a question is factoid or not is to see if two different people with average reading/comprehension skills would come up with the same answer after reading the passage.
PROBLEM: Pete Dumond, Chief Make-up Artist for 25 years at American International Studios, is fired after the studio is purchased by NBN Associates. The new management from the East, Jeffrey Clayton and John Nixon, plan to make musicals and comedies instead of the horror pictures for which Pete has created his remarkable monster make-ups and made the studio famous. In retaliaton, Pete vows to use the very monsters these men have rejected to destroy them. By mixing a numbing ingredient into his foundation cream and persuading the young actors that their careers are through unless they place themselves in his power, he hypnotizes both Larry Drake and Tony Mantell (who are playing the characters Teenage Werewolf and Teenage Frankenstein, respectively, in the picture Werewolf Meets Frankenstein,currently shooting on the lot).Through hypnosis, Pete urges Larry, in werewolf make-up, to kill Nixon in the studio projection room. Later, he wills the unknowing Tony to wait for Clayton in his garage at night and brutally choke him to death. Studio guard Monahan, a self-styled detective, stops in at the Make-up Room on his rounds one evening. He shows Pete and Rivero, Pete's reluctant assistant and accomplice, his little black book in which he has jotted down many facts, such as the late time Pete and Rivero checked out the night of the first murder. By this show of initiative he plans to get a promotion. Apprehensive, Petemade up as a terrifying primitive monster, one of his own creationskills Monahan in the studio commissary at a later point on his beat.Richards, the older guard, sees and hears nothing, until he uncovers Monahan's body. Police investigators uncover two clues: a maid, Millie, describes Frankenstein's Monster (Tony, in make-up), who struck her down as he fled from Clayton's murder; and the Police Laboratory Technician discovers a peculiar ingredient in the make-up left on Clayton's fingers from his death struggle with Tony. The formula matches bits found in Pete's old Make-up Room. The police head for Pete's house. Pete has taken Rivero, Tony and Larry for a grim farewell party to his home, which is a museum of all the monsters that he has created in the 25 years at the studio. (As Pete lights the candles for the party, the movie switches from black-and-white to color). Pete has stabbed Rivero to death secretly in the kitchen and hidden his body. Finding Tony and Larry trying to escape the locked living room, he attacks them with a knife. Larry inadvertently knocks over a candelabra, setting the living room on fire, and Pete is burned to death, trying in vain to save the lifelike heads of his monster "children" mounted on the wall. The police break through the door before the flames reach the boys.

SOLUTION: Who tries to escape a locked living room?

PROBLEM: Bugs is residing in his hole, playing a guitar and singing "Home on the Range". As he finishes, a group of construction workers suddenly begin building a home over his hole. They eventually finish, and the occupant, Yosemite Sam, moves in. His banjo playing annoys Bugs, who saws a hole in the floor and tries to exit. It turns out that a bearskin rug is right over the hole, and Bugs believes he is being attacked as does Sam, who shoots at the rug angrily, saying, "Playing possum for 20 years! That'll learn ya!"Bugs thanks Sam for rescuing him, but Sam orders him to get out, not listening to Bugs' protests. Sam fires his pistols at Bugs, forcing him to leave. Bugs yells to Sam that he'll sue and take his case to "the highest court in the country". He keeps his promise, choosing a court 6,723 feet above sea level. The exhausted Bugs quips on his way in, "I should have picked a lower court."The judge hears the case out, and rules that Sam and Bugs will share the property. If one of them dies, the surviving member inherits the property. Sam immediately begins plotting to kill Bugs, first by hitting him with a mallet while he sleeps. This is unsuccessful, as Bugs takes the mallet and hits him with it instead.The next morning, Sam prepares carrot juice for him and Bugs. He puts poison in Bugs' drink and offers it to him. Bugs instead spins the table around, causing the two glasses to rotate around with no idea of which one is which. Sam stops the table, and forces Bugs to drink at gunpoint. However, Bugs demands that Sam drink his own juice first. Sam agrees, and the two drink their juice. When Bugs experiences no ill effects, Sam realizes he has drunk the poisoned juice, and rockets through the roof, crashing and exploding on the desert floor.Sam makes one last attempt to kill Bugs after he dives into his hole by stuffing an endless amount of explosives down the hole. However, Bugs catches the explosives and puts them under the house's floor instead. The resulting explosion leaves Bugs and his home unharmed, but causes Sam's house to rocket into the sky. Sam, who is still inside, stumbles out and notices this. He is shocked and happy at the same time, remarking, "I've got a cabin in the sky!" Iris out.

SOLUTION: What instrument does Sam play?

PROBLEM: Homicide detective Sergeant Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford) investigates the suicide of officer Tom Duncan, which seems to have been brought on by ill health. Bannion is contacted by the late cop's mistress, Lucy Chapman (Dorothy Green), who claims it could not have been suicide. Bannion revisits his widow, Bertha Duncan (Jeanette Nolan), asking for particulars on the second home, but she resents the implication. The next day, Bannion is rebuked by Lieutenant Ted Wilks (Willis Bouchey), who is under pressure from "upstairs" to close the case. Chapman is found dead after being tortured and covered with cigarette burns. Bannion investigates, although the case is not in his jurisdiction. After receiving threatening calls to his home, he confronts Mike Lagana (Alexander Scourby), the local mob boss who runs the city. and finds that people are too scared to stand up to the crime syndicate. When warnings to Bannion go unheeded, his car is blown up and his wife Katie (Jocelyn Brando) is killed. After accusing his superiors of corruption, Bannion resigns.When Lagana's second-in-command Vince Stone (Lee Marvin) punishes a girl in a nightclubby burning her hand with a cigar buttBannion stands up to him, which impresses Stone's girlfriend Debby Marsh (Gloria Grahame). Marsh tries to get friendly with Bannion, who keeps pointing out that she gets her money from a thief. When Debby unwittingly reminds Bannion of his late wife, he sends her out of his hotel room. Debby had been seen with Bannion and when she returns to Stone's penthouse, he accuses her of talking to Bannion about his activities and throws boiling coffee in her face. Debby is taken to hospital by Police Commissioner Higgins, who was playing poker with Stone and his group at the flat. With her face disfigured, Debby returns to Bannion, who finds her a room at his hotel. Debby identifies the man who had arranged the planting of the dynamite as Larry Gordon (Adam Williams), one of Stone's associates. Bannion forces Gordon to admit to the bombing, who reveals that Duncan's widow has papers that could expose Stone and Lagana, and is collecting blackmail payments from Lagana. Bannion refrains from killing Gordon, instead spreading the word that Gordon had talked, and Gordon is murdered by Stone's men. Bannion then confronts Mrs. Duncan, accusing her of betraying Chapman, causing her death and protecting Lagana and Stone. Cops sent by Lagana arrive before he can strangle her and Bannion departs.Stone decides to kidnap Bannion's young daughter Joyce (Linda Bennett), who is staying with an aunt and uncle under a police guard. When the police guard is called away at the behest of Lagana, the uncle calls in a few army buddies for their protection. Bannion then sets off to deal with Stone, meeting Lieutenant Wilks (Willis Bouchey), who is now prepared to make a stand against the mob. Debby goes to see Mrs. Duncan, noting they are both wearing the same expensive coats and have benefited from an association with gangsters, and kills her. Stone returns to his penthouse and Debby throws boiling coffee at him. Stone shoots her but after a short gun battle with Bannion, who had followed him, is captured. As Debby lies dying, Bannion describes his late wife to her in terms of their relationship, rather than the physical "police description" he gave earlier and tells her that she and his wife would have gotten along. Stone is then arrested for murder, Duncan's evidence is made public, and Lagana and Commissioner Higgins are indicted. Bannion returns to his job at Homicide.

SOLUTION:
What is the name of Bannion's wife?
