Explanation:

The key details or ideas of the given excerpt is that there are some stories that are omitted by the Grimm Brothers in their publication of stories in multiple versions. These omissions may be due to various reasons, some of which are given in the excerpt.

While one version may have a particular story in it, the next may not have the same story. These omissions are done for different reasons, according to the stories. And from the given passage, the key details that support the main idea in the paragraph are-

The omission of the "Death and the Goose Boy" due to its baroque literary features, "The Stepmother" because of it's fragmentary nature and cruelty and "The Faithful Animals" because of its origin from the Siddhi-Kür.

Thus, the correct answers are options 1, 4, and 5.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
