Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that follows:
From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can
actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals.
Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals
have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps.
Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the
beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the
whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea
lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.

In 1808, their friend, the romantic poet clemens brentano, asked them to collect all types of folk tales so he could use them in a book of literary fairy tales. in 1810, they sent him fifty-four texts, which they fortunately copied. fortunately, because brentano then lost the manuscript in the ölenberg monastery in alsace and never used the grimms’ texts. when they realized that brentano was not going to use the tales, they decided, upon the advice of another romantic writer and mutual friend, achim von arnim, to publish their collection. it had grown to eighty-six tales, which they published in 1812, and then another seventy, which they published in 1815. –“how the grimm brothers saved the fairy tale,” jack zipes what structural technique does the writer use in this passage? the writer describes events in chronological order. the writer describes events in their order of importance. the writer provides a central idea and then lists examples. the writer shows how the grimms made mistakes and then solved them.
