Read the excerpt from an essay about fairy tales.The Grimms’ fairy tales address the experiences of people who are living in difficult situations. For example, there is the story of Rapunzel. There is also the story of Hansel and Gretel, who had to escape their house in order to find food and were locked out.Which revision would best help the author support the thesis more effectively?
Answer
A
The author should explain why Hansel and Gretel were locked out.
B
The author should explain how Rapunzel’s story fits into the thesis.
C
The author should add one more story as an example to support the thesis.
D
The author should explain why Hansel and Gretel's situation is difficult.
Explanation
The thesis is that Grimm fairy tales address people living in difficult situations. The passage names Rapunzel but does not explain how her experiences support that idea, so the author should connect her story to the thesis. Explaining only why Hansel and Gretel were locked out would add detail to one example, while the Rapunzel reference currently provides no support at all.
