At the end of what novel?
What myth is it talking about??
For this I would choose the first choice, A. "Eileen bought pants but not a new jacket."
A complex sentence is formed by an independent and a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can still be a sentence on it's own. For example, "Eileen bought pants." could be a valid sentence.
A dependent clause is the opposite, and is a part of a sentence that can not still be a sentence on it's own. "But not a new jacket." is not a valid sentence.
I hope this was helpful.
<span>In Birches, the author uses the line "like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair before them over their heads to dry in the sun" to describe C. the shape of the trees after an ice storm.
The trees bend like these girls who dry their hair in the sun.
