The most successful record of all time!
Option A, "The most successful record of all time!" is a clause fragment.
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.

This question refers to the novel "The Wednesday Wars" by Gary D. Schmidt.
In this text, we learn that the protagonist, Holling, does not appreciate his teacher, Mrs. Baker, much. Holling believes that she resents him for not being either Catholic or Jewish, like most other students.
However, in December, as the students prepare to perform a play, Holling learns to see a different side of Mrs. Baker. She decides to bring two baseball players to the school as a gift to her students: Joe Pepitone and Horace Clarke, two Yankees players. Mrs. Baker does not care about baseball. However, she cares about her students, and the fact that she arranged this meeting shows that not only does she not hate Holling, but that she values all of her students much more than Holling expected.
