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's situation is difficult.
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 were locked out.
Explanation
The thesis says the Grimms’ fairy tales address people living in difficult situations. The excerpt names Rapunzel but gives no details about her situation, so readers cannot see how her story supports the thesis. Explaining how Rapunzel’s story fits would make that example more effective.
