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.

Select the sentence in this passage that can be classified as a false statement.
Lelechka [254]
The correct answer should b <span>The melting ice will lead to the extinction of the polar bear as a species.

While the bears certainly are in trouble, there are many papers that show that they will not just go extinct. There are many areas where the warming has actually led to a replacement of ice, from a multilayered thick one to a smaller one where the seals are found more and more. Bears in this area thrive and are better than ever. The number of bears is pretty high and they mostly adapt to the situation so their extinction is not a certainty.</span>

1. SENTENCE REPAIRS

1. The history of civilization in Canada isn’t very long compared with other areas of the world that are heavily populated today. Archeologists haven’t found any fossils any older than around 30,000 years old. That probably indicates there were no earlier forms of humans in Canada as there were in Africa, for instance. Of course, the weather wasn’t very hospitable to people because the last ice age only ended several thousand years ago. Meanwhile, complex societies based on agriculture were developing in Mexico.

2.  Marcus looked at his new car sparkling in the sunlight. He had spent two hours washing and waxing it, but all of the hard work was worth it. With a grin of appreciation, Marcus gazed at the car that looked almost brand new. It had taken two jobs, nine months, and a lot of hard work, but Marcus had been able to pay cash for his car. Marcus merely dried the car in ten minutes. Grabbing the keys, Marcus was ready for a road trip. It was time to hit the road!
