Answer 2

Answer:

Correct answer is "This paragraph supports the main idea by giving reasons for the Grimms' determination to collect oral tales and give them to the German people."

Explanation:

In her text, Mohini clearly states that Grim brothers had one rule when they first published their stories, and it was "to save stories from the past which had only been spread by word of mouth". In their writing, they wanted to take note of how the oral literature and with it German culture deloped through their long history. Their intention was to bestow the German people with the gift of storytelling.

The excerpt from Mohini's essay about the Grimm brothers: "When the Grimm brothers first published their collection of folk tales, they stuck to one rule: they wanted to save stories from the past, which had only been spread by word of mouth. They wanted to use details from the changing lives of the average German family to show how the German culture evolved. They also wanted to show how storytelling makes strong connections in a community and is the sign of a civilized people. Their collection of tales was a gift to the German people. They had no idea that these tales would take on a life of their own, becoming a standard source for folklorists from other nations and ensuring their popularity throughout the world to this day."
