How to understand this sentence
In this sentence:"The first version of Cinderella that bears a significant similarity to the most famous version emerged in the 17th century, when a story called Cenerentola was published in a collection of Italian short stories."
Why does "version" directly before "emerged" in this sentence? Why there isn't "that" between version and emerged?

First of all, the sentence is not well written. But you might understand it better if you pause between version and emerged. In fact, it could use a coma in that spot to help with the meaning.
That would be incorrect because it would change the meaning.
The first "version" is the subject and "emerged" is the verb.
