I need to rephrase these sentences with the word given, the problem is that the word has to remain unchanged
1. Sam is going to have a tooth extracted this afternoon
(PULL) Sam is going to have a tooth __________________this afternoon
2. I �d like to ave the photo enlarged
(BLOW) I �d like to have the photo ______________________.
3. Rod �s going to apply for a job, but the fact that he has so little experience will make it less likely for him to get a job.
(TELL) Rod �s going to apply for the job, but the fact that he has so little experience will __________________ him.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there :)
If you have to rephrase those sentences without changing the word given, i �d suggest using the causative in the active form:
1.Sam will have a dentist pull her tooth.
2.I will get someone to blow up the photo.
3. I will have my mom tell Rod that the fact that he has so little experience will make it less likely for him to get a job??????
hahaha weird... sure you got the directions right?
Greetings!!!

Thanks anyway, could of course be a typo of some sort, but it specified that the word have so remain unchanged. What do you think of this:
Sam is going to have a tooth pull-out (but it sounds weird, doesn�t it?)

The rubric probably indicates that you shouldn �t change the given verb - although obviously its form will have to change (nothing makes sense otherwise - a "tooth pull-out"?? I don�t think so).
Ed �s right with 1. (pulled) and 2. (blown up). I would suggest that the expression for 3. is tell against (to have a negative influence or effect...).
