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?

This question is missing the answer choices. I found the complete question online. The answer choices are the following:

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.

The revision which would best help the author support the thesis more effectively is:

B. The author should explain how Rapunzel's story fits into the thesis.

Explanation:

The author's thesis or main idea is that the fairy tales by the Grimm brothers address difficult situations. In order to support that idea, the author then mentions two fairy tales as examples. He does explain why the story of Hansel and Gretel is related to the thesis - the siblings suffered with hunger and even ended up locked out of their home. However, he does not do the same for Rapunzel's story. We know the author thinks this story too addresses a difficult situation, but we do not know why. Therefore, the best revision to support the thesis more effectively is:

B. The author should explain how Rapunzel's story fits into the thesis.

a. the man as a ruler

are there any choices to this question
