Answer:
Didn't is a contraction for did not, and means the same thing. Contractions generally carry a connotation of informality. Decide on the right level of formality for the audience, and use the appropriate form. (For instance, in most spoken language didn't is more common; did not is more common in formal writing.)
The answer is:
The Grimms embellished stories with more details in their final editions.
According to the excerpt from "How the Grimm Brothers Saved the Fairy Tale," the author directs attention to the fact that the Grimm brothers enhanced, developed and expanded their stories in later later editions rather than the first. For example, he mentions how "Rapunzel" improved and became more refined from the first to the seventh edition.
In this passage, the setting details that cause the narrator to feel uneasy are: (1) the dark furniture and (4) the curtains that sway because of an approaching storm.
Reference to the dark furniture is made in the lines <em>"...the gloomy furniture of the room"</em> and reference to the curtains that sway is made in the lines <em>"the dark and tattered draperies, which, tortured into motion by the breath of a rising tempest, swayed fitfully to and fro upon the walls, and rustled uneasily about the decorations of the bed".</em>
Contra means against or opposite
So your answer is <u>against.</u><u />
Hope this helps. :)
