Answer:
The author mentions the Grimm's tales to identify some that were omitted or placed in footnotes.
The author mentions the tales to unfold a series of deaths to support the main idea of the excerpt.
The author uses the tales' content explanations to serve as the reason for omission.
Step-by-step explanation:
In his feature article "How the Grimm Brothers Save the Fairytale," author Jack Zipes presents the history of how the world's famous collection of fairytales came to be and how it has evolved. He also presents new facts about the Grimm brothers and their 'evolution' in bringing the famous children fairytales.
In mentioning the various works of the Grimm brothers in the excerpt, the author seems to point to the fact that these works were omitted and put in the footnotes. Moreover, the author also mentions the tales as a way to reveal the various deaths that will unfold in the plot. He also uses these content explanations to reveal why such tales were omitted and why they were required to do so.
Thus, the correct answers are the first, fourth, and fifth options.
