“The Grimm Brothers recorded the stories because fewer and fewer people were collecting and preserving them”
By the time the Grimm Brothers started collecting German folk stories ( the nineteenth century) German was a conglomeration of about 200 different kingdoms , not a sole country. Their effort was to revive the national culture.
“Their stories reveal truths about the conditions people lived in when the tales were recorded. “ and "The tales of the Grimm Brothers demonstrate how language and customs can create a bond between people."
The brothers Grimm transcribed the many stories they had learned over the years, but they did it in a more soft language and contente, suitable for many audiences. So theses stories could spread -preserving the national culture. Besides the folklore, they published about language, grammar, and old sayings.
Their literature contribution is perceived until today in german cultural heritage.

Answer:
The best effective thesis statements are both the first ("Hollembeak's review of the high school's play is fun and entertaining to read") and third ("In her editorial, Mellie writes convincingly of the need for high school classes to begin later in the morning") options.
Explanation:
The first and third statements are the only ones which state a convincing thesis about an argument. Both of them are informative about what is the object argued and present a clear idea of the main point made on that. Second option does not apply to the question because it is lacking in some way, because though it is informative and sets an idea of the argument, it is very broad to state "the play's action [is] in the 21st century". Fourth option does apply to the question as well because it is not a thesis, that is just exploring the content of an argument made, clarifying ideas for readers. And fifth option does not apply to the question too, because it is not a thesis, that is just a description of an information previously given, it only characterizes an informative statement, not an effective thesis.
