- 00:22
common folk the common people inspired by the grimm's methods
- 00:25
researchers began venturing outside the library and into villages to
- 00:28
collect colorful tales of magical beast wicked stepmothers enchanted objects

The passage starts off by saying the publication of children's
- 00:47
and household tail sparked interest in stories told by common
- 00:50
people So it's reasonable to infer that there wasn't a
- 00:53
whole lot of interest before then Well that's essentially what
- 00:56
sparked means here and well that it started the whole
- 00:59
thing So the answer is c there was little interest
- 01:01
in stories told by common people before this it alright
- 01:05
loser Bolt well although it would be interesting if it
- 01:07
did the text doesn't discuss the number references The wicked
- 01:10
stepmothers in the past and doesn't state that storytelling was
- 01:13
an oral tradition And also although kids back in the
- 01:15
day probably did have a lot less time for entertainment
- 01:17
well that's Not something we can infer from the text
- 01:20
So all those go away The answer is C
