Turning to the tales of the first edition, a reader might notice that many of the stories such as "The Hand with the Knife,” "How Some Children Played at Slaughtering,” and "The Children of Famine,” have nothing to do with fairies or happy endings. Instead, these are stark narratives about brutal living conditions in the nineteenth century. For instance, "The Children of Famine” begins this way: Once upon a time there was a woman with two daughters, and they had become so poor that they no longer had even a piece of bread to put in their mouths. Their hunger became so great that their mother became unhinged and desperate. Indeed, she said to her children, "I’ve got to kill you so that I can get something to eat.”

How does the author support the main idea in this paragraph?

with a claim that the narratives show brutal living conditions
with three titles of stories from the brothers Grimm
with an example that shows why the stories are fit for children
with an example that shows a specific brutal living condition

In which of the following excerpts from "the yellow wall paper" does author charlotte perkins gilman seem to mock the romantic belief in the supernatural? a. a colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, i would say a haunted house, and reach the height of romantic felicity—but that would be asking too much of fate! b. there is a delicious garden! i never saw such a garden—large and shady, full of box-bordered paths, and lined with long grape-covered arbors with seats under them. c. the color is repellent, almost revolting; a smoldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight. d. then i peeled off all the paper i could reach standing on the floor. it sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it!
