review the fourth paragraph.

ancient celts and contemporary americans are not the only people with
which of the following would be most relevant to add to the fourth paragraph?
how the practice of bobbing for apples came about
how halloween costumes have evolved to the present day
specific examples of the kinds of masks the celts wore
The fourth paragraph focuses on the origin of contemporary Halloween traditions from Celtic Samhain festival, especially the costume - wearing custom. The first option about bobbing for apples is just a listed tradition without further exploration in the paragraph. The third option about specific mask types is too narrow and not in line with the paragraph's focus on the origin and general idea of costume - wearing. The second option about how Halloween costumes have evolved to the present day can extend the discussion on the costume - wearing tradition (which started with Celts wearing masks) and is relevant as it connects the origin (Celtic) to the contemporary (evolution to present - day costumes).
