2. Look at this movie poster:



If you look carefully, you'll see that the title is not Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, but instead, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This is the original title by the book's author, J. K. Rowling. When this book was published in England, the title was kept. When the book was published in the United States, the title was changed to the Sorcerer's Stone. What is the best reason why this change was made?

a. Philosopher takes up more room than Sorcerer.
b. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was copyrighted in America by someone else.
c. The book publishers thought American kids would not be familiar with the philosopher's stone, would think it is a boring title, and therefore would not buy it.
d. The American publisher could not spell "philosopher."
