Explanation:

The first passage is a myth - like account of the sun's child's encounter with a spider. The author's personal reflection about spiders in the second passage adds a human - like, emotional and characteristic touch to the myth. It doesn't reveal the author is the boy, doesn't focus on the grandmother, and doesn't remove the spider's human - like traits but rather enhances the overall feel of the myth.

Answer:

D. It adds character and emotion to the myth.
