"In a house … there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after. … they were warned, by that wise old witch … not to take on anyone off the street." Happily ever after and wise old witches are typical fairy tale traits. Also a Prince is typical for fairy tales so this one is also a correct option "<span>the Prince who braves the terrible thicket of thorns to enter the palace and kiss the Sleeping Beauty back to life."</span>

The story could be dubbed as a modern fairy tale. The story takes place "In a house" which indicates that it took place in an unspecified place. The lines "...there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after." resembles closing remarks of traditional fairy tales. The line  "... they were warned, by that wise old witch" contains magical elements, namely witch in this context. The line " … as her Christmas present to her son and his wife" is an indication for the use of threes in the lights of a woman, her son and son's wife.

Make a check by the correct sentence. 1. A. She leaned her bike against a tree, but the bike wouldn't stand up. B. She leaned he
MissTica

The correct option is D) “Both A & B are incorrect.” Both sentences are incorrect because of the use of the phrasal verb “stand up”. The meaning of the phrasal verb is to make yourself into an upright position and a bike cannot “stand up”. The correct verb would be “stand”, which means to take or maintain a specified position.  

The rest of the options are incorrect since the phrasal verb "To stand up" is on both sentences.
