Answer:
There are many stories that wouldn't match this. I'd say most would be A, but many could be B or D too. I understand why'd you be so confused. I'd go with A. How many times do you hear "Happily Ever After", just saying.
I think you got your question and answer choices mixed up.
For the actual question, the answer is: They represent the next generation of children and suggest the need for protection.
For the correct answer out of the choices: The stories that Thomas tells and his desire to be listened to allow Alexie to show that telling and listening to stories is an important way people shape and understand their lives.

<span>She screams.
"When Lennie explains that he likes to pet soft things, Curley's wife reveals that she too likes to feel silk and velvet, and she invites him to feel her hair, which is very soft. He does, but his big, clumsy fingers start to mess it up, and she angrily tells him to let go. As she tries to get her hair away from Lennie, he becomes scared and holds on more tightly. When she begins to scream, Lennie covers her mouth with his hand. A struggle ensues — Lennie panicking and Curley's wife's eyes "wild with terror" — until her body flops "like a fish" and then she is still."</span>
The most common way to start a sentence is with a subject, making the correct answer B.
An example would be a simple sentence "He broke the window" where "he" is the subject.
