Question

Statement 1: The Grimm brothers travelled far and wide to compile a list of folk tales.
Statement 2: Printing the compilation was not easy as many stories were deemed unsuitable for children.

• A. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false
• B. Statement 2 is true and statement 1 is false
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Both statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true

It wasn’t an easy task for the printers to compile folk tales. The Grimm Brothers in Germany met peasants and gathered folk tales for years before they compiled, edited, and published them in 1812. The print wasn’t just recording these rural folk tales but also changing them in the process. Some of these folk tales weren’t suitable for children. And the elites deemed some of these vulgar. So some changes had to be made.
