Question

read the excerpt from \how the grimm brothers saved the fairy tale.\
though it is impossible to clarify fully why certain tales were deleted or placed in footnotes in later editions, we do know that \death and the goose boy\ was omitted because of its baroque literary features; \the strange feast,\ because of its close resemblance to \godfather death\; \the stepmother,\ because of its fragmentary nature and cruelty; and \the faithful animals,\ because it came from the siddhi-kur, a collection of mongolian tales. from the first edition in 1812/1815 to the final one in 1857, the grimms received numerous versions of tales already in their collection and new tales from strangers, friends, and colleagues, and they often decided to replace one tale with another version, to delete some of the tales, or to include variants in their footnotes.
for what purpose does the author mention the names of various grimm works in this excerpt? select three answers.
□ the author mentions the grimm’s tales to identify some that were omitted or placed in footnotes.
□ the author mentions which of the grimm’s tales are not suitable for children.
□ the author identifies the new tales the grimms received from their colleagues, friends, and strangers.
□ the author mentions the tales to unfold a series of details to support the main idea of the excerpt.
□ the author uses the tales’ content explanations to serve as the reason for omission.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. First option: The excerpt mentions specific tales like "Death and the Goose Boy", "The Strange Feast" etc. that were omitted or placed in footnotes, so this is correct.
  2. Fourth option: The author uses the mention of these tales (with their reasons for omission/ changes) to support the main idea about why certain tales were changed in later editions of Grimm's works.
  3. Fifth option: For each mentioned tale, there is an explanation (like baroque literary features, close resemblance, fragmentary nature etc.) that serves as the reason for omission, so this is correct.

The second option is incorrect as the excerpt doesn't focus on suitability for children. The third option is incorrect as the excerpt is about omitted/changed tales, not new tales received.

Answer:

A. The author mentions the Grimm’s tales to identify some that were omitted or placed in footnotes.
D. The author mentions the tales to unfold a series of details to support the main idea of the excerpt.
E. The author uses the tales’ content explanations to serve as the reason for omission.
