Answer:
The sentence structure of this example is Compound-Complex.
Explanation:
When we want to determine a sentence structure, we should analyze how many clauses it has. Clauses can be dependent or independent. Compound-Complex structure includes two or more <em>independent </em>clauses and at least one <em>dependent</em> clause. Let's see our example:
<u>
Chopin in The Story of an Hour explains to the reader; in order for anyone to live in marriage, he or she must be "Free, free, free!"</u>
<u />
<em>Chopin in The Story of an Hour explains to the reader</em> - independent clause
<em>in order for anyone to live in marriage </em>- dependent clause
<em>he or she must be "Free, free, free!" </em>- independent clause
As we have 2 independent and 1 dependent clause, this sentence is a compound-complex sentence.
<u />
