Read the excerpt from "How the Grimm Brothers Saved the Fairy Tale." What compelled the Grimms to concentrate on old German epic

s, tales, and literature was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture—those which held the community together—were linguistic and based in history. According to them, modern literature, even though it might be remarkably rich, was artificial and thus could not express the genuine essence of Volk culture that emanated naturally from experience and bound the people together. Therefore, all their efforts went toward uncovering stories from the past. Which statement best describes the way the author unfolds ideas in this paragraph? The author starts with the main idea and gives evidence to support it. The author gives supporting details first and concludes with the main idea. The author gives a supporting detail and reveals the main idea, followed by a detail. The author starts with the main idea and then restates it in several different ways.

An author can create a slow-paced text by using which sentence structure?
grin007 [14]
<span>A longer sentence structure can give a reader the feeling that the pace is slowing down. Heavily-detailed sentences and paragraphs can make time feel as if it is standing still. Shorter sentences without detail can make time seem as if it is flying by instead of slowly progressing.</span>
