Answer: Pride and the need to feel important

Explanation:

In the story of "Rumpelstiltskin", we are introduced to a girl who was forced to spin thread into gold and so turned to the help of a little man named Rumpelstiltskin who only helped her if she gave him increasingly complicated gifts with the last being her first born unless she could correctly guess his name.

The reason she was forced to make gold out of thread was because her father had bragged to the King that she could do so. He did so because he was a proud man who wanted to appear as though he was important to the King so that the King would acknowledge him.

Which excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of irony?
ozzi
<span>It is letter B. The story appears as a report composed by an ex-understudy of the story's hero, Professor Arthur Barnhouse. Eighteen months previously the written work of the report the teacher builds up the capacity to influence physical articles and occasions through the power of his brain; he comes to call this power 'dynamopsychism', while the press embraces the term 'the Barnhouse impact'. At the point when Barnhouse wrongly informs the US administration of his freshly discovered capacities, they attempt to transform him into a weapon. </span>
