Answer: C) 1
===========================================================
One way is to graph the function f(x) = ln(x)/(x-1) and you'll see the curve slowly approach y = 1 when x approaches 1 from either side. Check out the attached image labeled "figure 1" for this graph.

You can use a table to see this in action. See figure 2 (attached below as well).

Another alternative is to use L'Hospital's rule. This is because we get the indeterminate form 0/0 after plugging x = 1 into the original function.
if y = ln(x), then dy/dx = 1/x
If y = x-1, then dy/dx = 1
So f(x) = ln(x)/(x-1) becomes (1/x)/1 = 1/x
If you plug in x = 1, you get 1/x = 1/1 = 1.
Regardless of which method you use, the limiting value is 1
