The author of the passage is most likely to agree with which of the following explanations for the origins of the story of Aladdin?
Explanation:
The author mentions that Galland must have heard Diyab’s story, and then written about it in the Arabian nights. He also mentions that this story must have actually been Diyab’s own story. This point is included only in option 4. Option 1 makes the ‘incomplete medieval manuscript’ and ‘the story of Aladdin’ as two different elements which is incorrect. Option 2 and 3 are incorrect as per the passage. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
