Answer: B) Something about their story just didn't add up, but that's not my problem.

Explanation: From the given options, the one that would best convey the point of view of a trader who buys the boy as a slave, is the corresponding to option B, because as we can see, he has doubts about the boys' story, but he doesn't really care. The sentence A seems to be from the point of view of the boy being sold, and the sentences C and D, from the point of view of the boys that sold their brother.

The answer is I option B “Something about their story just didn’t add up, but that’s not my problem” Because it doesn’t sound like the boy’s family members, or the boy himself.

DedPeter [7]

I believe that the phrase “blessing of another World War”, in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect", is an example of sarcasm. Sarcasm is a sharp remark similar to irony. It also uses expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, in order to ridicule something or someone. In this case, the word “blessing” is an example of sarcasm, as World War can’t be the blessing.

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>

<span>I would say "1. The author is suggesting that the telegram sparked the US decision to go to war." 
I would say this because "...Hall sensed that the Zimmermann telegram would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining the Allied forces...presented the telegram to President Wilson." </span><span>This implies that because the telegram was sent, the U.S. joined the Allied forces.
