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.

The writer describes events in chronological order. This is the correct option.

The writers mentions the years and some temporal markers to indicate that one event follows the other following a line of time. In 1808, Brentano asked them ,the Grimm Brothers , for tales; In1810 , they sent him the tales; when they realised what Brentano had done with  their tales; In 1812, the Grimm Brothers -they- published eighty-six tales; In 1815, they published more tales ..".

These options are wrong:

-The writer describes events in their order of importance. There is not a hierarchy; there is a succession of facts linked by cause and effect.

-The writer provides a central idea and then lists examples.  There is not a topic sentence and then examples. It has got a narrative structure.

-The writer shows how the Grimms made mistakes and then solved them. The Grimms ' friend , the poet Brentano, made  mistakes.

Answer Is "A" The writer describes events in chronological order.
