The question asks "This young girl and her brother," so it would be both. If it read, "This girl, along with her brother", then it would be just the girl.

Perhaps 'Sleeping Beauty' isn't the best answer to the question above – the princess has names in 1582's Perceforest ('Zellandine'), Giambattista Basile's 1634 Sun, Moon, and Talia ('Talia'), the Grimm Brothers' 1812 version ('Briar Rose' or 'Rosamund') and in the 1959 Disney film (both 'Briar Rose' and 'Aurora'). Maybe these could all be considered valid type-ins?

Small point of order: Maleficent isn't a witch, she's a wicked fairy, and she's only named "Maleficent" in the Disney movies, not in the fairy tale.

IDK why but I typed hansel and gretel and it wouldn't accept it. I guess you were just looking for the girl, but weird that it wouldn't accept both

You didn't get the correct answer because you didn't read the question carefully enough. It happens to all of us from time to time - but it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the question.

A good day to get 5/5 for this!

A niggly point: your spelling for the Scottish Play is wrong. The b is lower case, not upper.

Maleficent is not a witch, she's a fairy (and that name is only from Disney movies, not from fairy tales).

The spelling is "Macbeth", not "MacBeth".
