In contrast to the final 1857 edition, most of the tales in the first edition are shorter and sparser. they have a rawness that was later to be refined. for example, "rapunzel” is embellished a great deal in the final edition: first edition once upon a time there lived a husband and wife who had been wishing for a child for many years, but it had all been in vain. finally, the woman became pregnant. now, in the back of their house the couple had a small window that overlooked a fairy’s garden filled with all kinds of flowers and herbs. but nobody ever dared to enter it. seventh edition once upon a time there was a husband and wife who for quite some time had been wishing in vain for a child. finally, the dear lord gave the wife a sign of hope that their wish would be fulfilled. now, in the back of their house the couple had a small window that overlooked a splendid garden filled with the most beautiful flowers and herbs. the garden, however, was surrounded by a high wall, and nobody dared enter it because it belonged to a sorceress, who was very powerful and feared by all. which idea does the author develop with the text example cited in the excerpt?
a)the grimms found stories that express real-life situations.
b)the grimms embellished stories with more details in their final editions.
c)the grimms wanted to stick to oral reports of folk tales.
