Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Wright emphasized that a building should have an organic and natural sense, which he expressed in his Prairie Houses.
2. The Robie House is an example. The horizontal sweep of the roof and the open interior space reflect the flat expanses of the Midwest landscape.
3. Each of Wright's residential houses was specific to its site.
4. For example, Fallingwater used concrete cantilevers to mirror the natural cliffs over the hillside.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Wrought iron is soft and flexible, and, when heated, it can be easily twisted into a variety of forms. To create cast iron, carbon is added to the iron, forming a more rigid and stronger material.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
