It's not completely clear where the options start and stop, but here you go!
"In a house … there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after. … they were warned, by that wise old witch … not to take on anyone off the street." Happily ever after and wise old witches are typical fairy tale traits. Also a Prince is typical for fairy tales so this one is also a correct option "<span>the Prince who braves the terrible thicket of thorns to enter the palace and kiss the Sleeping Beauty back to life."</span>

The story could be dubbed as a modern fairy tale. The story takes place "In a house" which indicates that it took place in an unspecified place. The lines "...there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after." resembles closing remarks of traditional fairy tales. The line  "... they were warned, by that wise old witch" contains magical elements, namely witch in this context. The line " … as her Christmas present to her son and his wife" is an indication for the use of threes in the lights of a woman, her son and son's wife.

jasenka [17]

The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in these excerpts by the use of the infidelities. Tennessee had an affair with his partner's wife and she accepted him. However, she was also unloyal to him and she finally abandoned him to go with another man. The relationship between Tennessee and his partner is a ckear example of loyalty and frienship because even though Tennessee courted his wife they continue being friends, they had an affection that was unconditional. Tennessee's partner admired him and that feeling continued after his death.
