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.
