Solution

The correct option is D Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm or the Brothers Grimm were part of a movement that emerged across Europe in literature, art, and music - a movement called Romanticism. The Romantics insisted that 'emotions' were equally important to understand the world.
In 1812, the Brothers Grimm published a written collection of folktales including stories of Rapunzel and Snow White in Germany. Many of the tales in this book were initially told orally - they passed from one generation to the next, as grandmothers sat with their little grandchildren and told them the stories. By writing this all down as a book, the Brothers wanted to emphasise a common German heritage, traditions of folktales, and united leadership.

Q. At the end of the nineteenth century, a rising interest in Native American customs and an increasing desire to understand Native American culture prompted ethnologists to begin recording the life stories of Native American. Ethnologists had a distinct reason for wanting to hear the stories: they were after linguistic or anthropological data that would supplement their own field observations, and they believed that the personal stories, even of a single individual, could increase their understanding of the cultures that they had been observing from without. In addition, many ethnologists at the turn of the century believed that Native American manners and customs were rapidly disappearing, and that it was important to preserve for posterity as much information as could be adequately recorded before the cultures disappeared forever.
There were, however, arguments against this method as a way of acquiring accurate and complete information. Franz Boas, for example, described autobiographies as being “of limited value, and useful chiefly for the study of the perversion of truth by memory,” while Paul Radin contended that investigators rarely spent enough time with the tribes they were observing, and inevitably derived results too tinged by the investigator’s own emotional tone to be reliable.
Even more importantly, as these life stories moved from the traditional oral mode to recorded written form, much was inevitably lost. Editors often decided what elements were significant to the field research on a given tribe. Native Americans recognized that the essence of their lives could not be communicated in English and that events that they thought significant were often deemed unimportant by their interviewers. Indeed, the very act of telling their stories could force Native American narrators to distort their cultures, as taboos had to be broken to speak the names of dead relatives crucial to their family stories. Despite all of this, autobiography remains a useful tool for ethnological research: such personal reminiscences and impressions, incomplete as they may be, are likely to throw more light on the working of the mind and emotions than any amount of speculation from an ethnologist or ethnological theorist from another culture.
Q. Which of the following is most similar to the actions of nineteenth-century ethnologists in their editing of the life stories of Native Americans?
