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.

The main idea of this excerpt is the fact that the Grimm Brothers had a strong belief (that the most natural and pure forms of culture were linguistic and based in history) and in following it, they <em>saved</em> the fairy tale.  In order to do so, the author gives a supporting detail and reveals the main idea, followed by more details.

Prior to the Trojan War, The Oracle of Delphi delivered the following prophecy: “What Began with an Apple; Must End With a Horse
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The prophecy of the Oracle that the Trojan War will begin with an apple is rightly so because the fight for the apple led to Aphrodite's claim for it. This then led to her promise to help get Helen for Paris, which led to the Trojan War. And the war ended after the Greek armies sneaked into the Trojan city by hiding inside a wooden horse sent to the Trojans as a peace symbol.

Explanation:

The Oracle's prophecy of<em> "What Began with an Apple; Must End With a Horse"</em> reveals what the Trojan War will be like and why it must be so. The case of <em>“the Apple</em>” is the apple of discord that the three goddesses fought over. This is the Judgement of Paris, where the three goddesses Aphrodite, Athene, and Hera went to Paris, the shepherd to lay claim to the apple which will claim her the fairest.

Paris chose Aphrodite as the rightful owner of the golden apple for she had promised him to get Helen, the most beautiful girl for him. And it was this promise which led to the abduction of Helen from her husband Menelaus, the King of Sparta. This further led to the Battle of Troy which ended only after the Greeks sneaked into the Trojan city inside a wooden horse.

Thus, the prophecy had rightly foretold the beginning and end of the Trojan war, which will begin with the Apple of Discord and end with the wooden horse filled with the Greek armies sneaking inside Troy.

The statement about melatonin as the chemical that regulates the sleep and wake cycle is the supporting detail. Thus, option D supports the main idea of the passage.

<h3>What is a supporting detail?</h3>

Supporting detail is a statement that includes the data that are well researched and have examples and detailed descriptions that support the central idea that serves the purpose of the essay.

The main idea is the central thought that the passage wants to deliver to its reader and is supported by the details that clarify the idea about the topic.

Here the main idea is about the sleep cycle that is regulated by the hormone melatonin released by the brain. It balances the sleep and the wake cycle of the person and varies with the age. Its release controls the sleep pattern and regulates the best function of the body.

Therefore, the release of melatonin best supports the idea of the passage.
