Explanation:

Question 5

To determine the meaning of "ramped it up", we analyze the context. The sentence says Wilhelm Grimm left in the violence and sometimes "ramped it up". "Ramped it up" should mean increasing the violence (since he left it in and then did more). "Started" (A) doesn't fit as he already left it in. "Allowed" (B) is not about increasing. "Clarified" (C) is irrelevant. "Increased" (D) matches the idea of making the violence more intense.

We need to find the best summary. Option A only compares two versions of Cinderella, not the whole passage. Option B covers the origin (peasants told from memory), Perrault's collection (written, for upper - class), Grimm's collection (more violent), and why people love fairy tales (cope with struggles) – this is a comprehensive summary. Option C focuses only on the origin and moral, missing the comparison of collections. Option D focuses on differences in collections but not the origin or why people love them. So B is the best.

The phrase "the television of their time" implies fairy tales served a similar purpose to TV – entertainment. "They kept people amused" (A) fits as TV amuses people. "Sometimes offensive" (B) is not the main function of TV or fairy tales here. "Based on imaginary situations" (C) – TV has both real and imaginary, so this isn't the main point. "Kept people from sleeping" (D) is negative, while TV is for amusement, not to prevent sleep. So A is correct.

Answer:

D. increased
