Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) A fiahin an ṭawng hman mek a ti awlsam

  1. Stories, poems and plays by real writers are authentic texts: they show language as people actually use it.
  2. Such natural language gives learners rich, meaningful input, which is the reason to include them.
  3. They were not written for textbooks (1); fame of the writer (2) and simple wording (3) are not the real reason.

Trap: (1) sounds sensible, but authentic writing was created for real readers, not for textbooks.
