Question

Which statement best describes the way the author

Answer 1

Answer:

The author gives a supporting detail and reveals the main idea, followed by a detail

Explanation:

The main idea of the text reflects on how the Grimm Brothers believed that there were flaws in literature because it did not express natural and pure forms and could not grasp the genuine essence of Volk culture. This information is only given after the author of the text gives supporting details to help us understand why the Grimm thought this. When the paragraph shows your core idea, more supporting details are shown that confirm the main idea.

Answer 2

Answer:The author gives a supporting detail and reveals the

main idea, followed by a detail

Explanation:  The first sentence "What compelled the Grimms to concentrate on old German  epics, 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." tells what the Grimms noticed. The rest of the sentences tell their reasoning and what they did to carry out a plan to find the old tales and retell them.
