Final answer:
The statement is false because 'The Emperor's New Clothes' has a tone of ridicule and irony, whereas 'King Long Shanks' probably has a different tone, especially if it refers to Edward I. Without information on the latter story, it is difficult to compare tones directly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the tone of King Long Shanks and The Emperor’s New Clothes are both the same is false. While both stories may carry elements of satire, they have distinct tones. The Emperor's New Clothes, by Hans Christian Andersen, commonly features a tone of ridicule and irony as it mocks the pretentiousness and vanity of the emperor and his subjects. On the other hand, there isn't much information readily available about a story titled King Long Shanks. However, assuming it is referring to Edward I of England, who was often called the 'Longshanks' due to his height, a story about a real historical figure would likely have a very different tone from Andersen's fairy tale. Moreover, if the student is referring to a different story or a lesser-known fairy tale with a similar title, it's essential to compare the specific tones of both stories in question directly.
