Final answer:

To finish reading 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote in 2 weeks, you would need to read approximately 24.5 (rounded up to 25) pages per day. Option d with 17 pages per day is the closest among the given choices but would take more than 2 weeks to finish.

Explanation:

To determine the daily reading requirement to finish 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote in two weeks, we will need to divide the total number of pages, which is 343, by the total number of days in two weeks, which is 14. The calculation is as follows: 343 pages / 14 days = 24.5 pages per day (rounded to nearest whole number, it would be 25 pages per day). Thus, none of the given options is completely correct, but 17 pages (option d) comes closest. However, please understand that this would require more than 2 weeks to complete the book.
