Answer:

His need to see the king so as to make whatever requests he has makes him decide to tell the king about his daughter's 'supposedly' ability to spin gold from straw.

Explanation:

In the fable of "Rumpelstiltskin" by the Brothers Grimm, the story revolves around a miller's daughter capable of spinning straw into gold. And through this story, the theme of being truthful and being responsible for one's own actions are brought into the fore.

In order to feel or be taken superior, or at least taken seriously, the miller decided to lie to the king by stating that his daughter could spin straw into gold. Greedy as the king was, the king immediately asked for the daughter to prove her father's claim, which resulted in the actual production of gold from straw.

So, the main reason or motivation for the miller to tell the king about his daughter's ability to spin gold from a straw seems to be that he wants to be taken highly or to appear superior.

Which word in the sentence is the direct object?
My name is Ann [436]
The answer is B, movie. "Action" is used as an adjective here, so it cannot be an object when there is no noun present. "Saw" is a verb. "I" is the subject, so the only remaining option is B, movie. The question to easily determine what the object is would be "What did you see?" And the answer would be "A movie".

Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron."
marissa [1.9K]
The interaction portrayed above between George and Hazel develops Kurt Voonegut's social criticism through the 'forgetting' of the sad things that were portrayed in the television. The attempt to forget sad things was a root of social criticism because they should not be ignored and they can be important to in someone's life.

Which of the following shows the correct way to cite a second work in Works Cited with the title, First Time's a Charm by the au
nadezda [96]

D. ---. First Time's a Charm. Houston: La Prensa Texas, 1995. Print.

Since the Works Cited page is alphabetical, the two books by the same author will be one after the other. Because of this, you do not need to include any of the author's name. Instead, replace the name with three hyphens. Do NOT forget the period! It usually comes after the author's name, but in this case, it needs to be after the hyphens.

MLA has updated their requirements for citing sources. It is no longer the rule that you must put "Print" for print sources. Now, this citation should end with the period after the copyright date.

Answer:

Discussions are simple confabulations but very unique and complex. They can include one specific main idea or possibly many. The main purpose it to help collaborate with peers to share information and new ideas. Along with discussions, you will most likely be working inside of a group. You should feel accepted inside your group so that you can feel comfortable about sharing your bright ideas and the knowledge that comes up into your mind. Along with the group, everyone will most likely be assigned a different role to keep the forum in an orderly manner. There is the presenter who starts the presentation with bringing up the basic concepts for others to build off of. Along with the presentor, there is a facilitator and that's basically the queen bee. You can look at it like this: the bee that keeps the other bees from getting distracted or off topic other than from the main purpose of the discussion. And last but not least, we have the recorder. They are the ones who record important pieces of information so that later they can build off of those specific details into new and brighter ways (possibly on their own). Along with the group, you should make sure to practice group etiquette. If you need anything said again just speak up. Try not to form stereotypes in front of your colleagues. They are the ones who are working with you and they should the ones who are able to trust you. You should be friendly and nice even if you don't necissarily agree with what their saying. There should always be equal discussion. In other words, have equal air time. One person shouldn't be the only one talking or responsing to certain members. It's also very important to make yourself look presentable. During the meeting, you may be tired or hungry. Try your best to not show how you feel especially if it's a long meeting (it may be very hard). Finally, make sure to be prepared. You want to be able to know what topics you're going to bring up and add onto if something goes wrong and you're in the position where to speak up.

i hope this was something you were looking for. You can edit if not!
