What is a work literature that reflects a fairy tale?

Joan D. Vinge's, Hugo award winning work, The Snow Queen.

The fairy tale basis of the book helps to make the author both familiar and lures them into thinking they know what will happen, which heightens the surprise when it doesn't happen as they were predicting.

This book isn't just another "monster's view" retelling, we've had plenty of those. What it does is takes the tale and uses it as a basis for a new science fiction story.

Are experts in literature, journalism and music often able to predict each year's Pulitzer Prizer winners in their respective fields?

The best predicting systems for prominent awards (Oscars, Pulitzers, sports honors, etc.) involve a blend of four methods. The surest technique is having a sizable number of the judges whisper their ballot choices to you in advance. It's some help to be able to look at who's been winning less-famous, similar awards in the run-up to the big one. Combing through public performance data  can yield insights about who should be in the top bracket. Finally, there's room for plain old personal taste.Turn the clock back to the late 1900s, and in the journalism categories, all these factors were humming. Charles Kaiser, an accomplished media critic and former NYT staffer, was renowned for his ability to get a sense of which way the Pulitzer juries might be leaning in their closed-door deliberations,Now, there seems to be less of that. Roy Harris, a former WSJ reporter and author of a book about the Pulitzer Prizes, posts an annual roundup of which stories have done well in run-up contests and thus might be Pulitzer favorites. His most recent posting, just ahead of the April 2016 awards, is here: Who will win the Pulitzer Prizes today? A survey of the most impressive journalism from 2015

How does literature help us remember the past or speak to the future? Can we trust fictional accounts of the past, or are the written accounts inevitably biased?

Literature help us remember the past and speak to the future by reading old historical books and document new developments for the future generations.Also, I think, we can thrust all past history, because many old-world countries had some chronicles, and if the destinies of this countries were "interwowen", both chronicles of that period were coincidering, that tells us about the truly of the story.

“Rosy-fingered Dawn” is an example of which literary device?

C. Epithet: an epithet is basically a brief descriptor in front of a noun (usually a person). In this case, Dawn is being described as "rosy-fingered." Other examples of epithets could be "rose-colored cheeks" or "Igor the Terrible." There's a lot of ways epithets can go.

Not:
A: foreshadowing means you're predicting an outcome or event, and not used as an adjective/descriptor
B: a simile is a comparison (using like or as), and in this case it's describing "Dawn," not comparing Dawn to something else.
D: Patronymics is giving someone a name based on their father/grandfather's name, so basically taking their surname

Hope this helps!
