“Hello,” Clark said in a sleepy voice.
“Mr. Taylor. Thank goodness. I need your help.”
Clark definitely (21) ____________________(KNOW) the voice. However, he was sleepy and (22) ____________________(NOT/CAN) remember who it was.
“Mr. Taylor!” the man said. “I am in trouble. The police allowed me only one phone call. And I am calling you.”

You are the only person in this town who knows me. Can you help me?” Martin Hall asked.

It was not difficult for him to prove that Martin Hall was his former student. Clark brought a scientific journal with Martin’s article and a photo of him. The (28) ____________________(POLICEMAN) were surprised to find out that their prisoner was a capable young scientist.
