Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plan ahead. Know when to use a sore throat as an excuse. Make a good show of getting ready. Use your most pained and miserable voice to speak. Keep it going.

Answer: You can't suddenly come down with a horrible sore throat. Plant a seed the night before by going to bed a little early. Just let them know you're not feeling so great. When you wake up the next day with a sore throat, it won't seem like just a convenient excuse to get out of your plans. Illnesses don't happen randomlythey usually develop over a period of time. If you pretend to be sick all of a sudden, people might not believe you. A sore throat is not usually a sign of severe sickness, and you can usually tough it out if you want to be somewhere. However, if you come down with a sore throat when you have choir practice or to clarinet lessons, it can be very difficult to perform such tasks. If you just want to get out of going to class or your uncle's house, you might want to catch something more severe. For example, if you will be in a situation where you'll be in contact with a lot of people, faking the flu might work better. If you'll be in a situation where you have to talk a lot, such as a class presentation, then faking a sore throat may help. You want to make it seem like you're willing to go, if it wasn't for this horrible affliction. Instead of whining and refusing to get out of bed, get up and get dressed. Don't forget to fake the symptoms as you get ready, however. Continue to cough and make your voice sound hoarse. Only do this to ask your parent to make you some tea or if you have any medicine for a sore throat. If your parent sees how uncomfortable you are they will want you to do whatever it takes to get better. Talk in a whisper, and struggle with some words. Take a pause every now and then and swallow, as though to moisturize your throat. Think back to the last time you had a sore throat and how you sounded. Try to make your voice sound the same way. If your parents make you go, keep the performance going anyway until the next day. The worst thing you can do is to blow your cover just because you didn't get out of it. If you do, your parents will always suspect you of faking an illness. If your parents say you can stay home, then congratulations. Unfortunately, if they are home, too, then you need to spend the rest of your day playing sick so they don't figure out you lied.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Count the number of teeth in the jaw. Look at the third tooth in the deer's mouth. Examine the coloring on the third tooth. Look at the enamel on the teeth.

Answer: A deer that has five or fewer teeth in its mouth is a fawn. Typically a deer will have four teeth if it's 5 to 6 months old and five teeth if it's 7 months old to one-year-old. Once the deer is over a year old, it will develop its sixth tooth. If the deer is under a year old, its third tooth will be a tricuspid, or have three cusps that form a single tooth. This tricuspid will look worn down until it falls out to be replaced by a permanent bicuspid, or a tooth that has two ridges. If the third tooth is bicuspid, it could still be a younger deer. If the coloring is lighter on its third tooth, or the tooth is just starting to develop, the deer is a little older than one year old. If the third tooth is the same color as the rest of the teeth, the deer could be anywhere between 2.5 years old to a fully matured deer. As a deer starts to age, the enamel on its teeth will start to wear away and the teeth will start to brown. Fully matured deer will have most of the enamel on their teeth worn away at this point. If the teeth look worn down, there's a good possibility the deer is over five years old.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify patterns of moodiness. Conduct some research. Talk to your roommate's friends and family. Suggest that your roommate see a doctor or counselor.

Answer:
The mood swings may be as harmless as a general annoyance or severe enough that they are keeping the friend up all night. Take notes in a journal to help you identify patterns. You may also be able to spot other factors that may contribute to the mood swings. Some mental illnesses have mood swings as a symptom. Your roommate may be experiencing an undiagnosed psychiatric disorder. Mood swings can be a symptom or even a result of bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, ADHD or even anxiety. Look up the symptoms of each and compare your roommate's behaviors to see if anything fits. Keep in mind, your goal is not to diagnose your roommate. You are simply trying to learn more about his or her behaviors so that you can have a better understanding. See if they have noticed the behavior. Do this discreetly. You might start by asking other friends if they see the moodiness when you aren't around. Finding out can help you understand if it happens all the time or only at home. If it's strictly at home, you may want to consider whether the two of you are well-suited if he or she only acts like this in your presence. If the mood swings are something you have seen occur with other people as well, ask them for suggestions as to how they handled it. "So, you say Terry is moody around you every now and then, too, huh? What do you do when this happens?" Explore how many people in your roommate's family have similar issues and see if there is a pattern as far as mental health issues running in the family. If the mood swings have been interfering with his or her life, it may be a sign of a larger problem. It can be helpful to remind your roommate of the affect his or her mood swings actually has on life for both of you. Your roommate may not notice the issue on a daily basis, so be prepared. You might show compassion by saying "I can see that your mood brings you down some days. It also causes tension between us. Have you thought about seeing a counselor or someone you can talk to professionally?" Volunteer to go to the doctor with your roommate for emotional support.
