The answer to the first question is most likely A. It makes the most sense to me. Though, I apologize if I'm incorrect. ^_^
Correct answer: C. an epic
Explanation: The answer A is incorrect, because a fairy tale is full of symbols, hidden themes and metaphors, answer B is incorrect because a Shakespearean play does not explicitly state its theme and lets the reader discover it.
An epic is a series of actions and events which unfold over a certain timespan, making the narrative thread easy to follow. The epic directly states its theme and the reader knows what it’s about right from the start.
Nature is raw and tangible, which often helps characters find who they really are when they are lost in the wilds.
Examples:
-siddhartha: the ferry man found that the river was an allegory for life
-where the red fern grows: billy found his true belonging (of being a leader) when he was outside in nature with his dogs
