Question :

The author of the passage is most likely to agree with which of the following explanations for the origins of the story of Aladdin?

Started 4 months ago by Shashank in

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

The passage clearly states that Diyab himself narrated the story of Aladdin to Galland (who wrote the Arabian Nights) and argues that Diyab might have based it on his own life. So, option 3 is the correct option.

Option 1 suggests that Galland simply derived the story from Diyab's travelogue (as opposed to hearing it from Diyab himself). This is incorrect. The passage argues the story of Aladdin is based on Diyab's own life, so options 2 and 4 are incorrect.
