Question

[1] When the twins grew up, they continued to fight. [2] One day they decided to hold a contest to determine who was stronger. [3] Though they tried to defeat each other in many different ways, neither one could win. [4] On the last day, they fought with weapons. [5] Using a deer antler, the right-handed twin overpowered his brother, and he threw him off the edge of the Earth. [6] Today, the right-handed twin lives in the Sky-World, and the left-handed twin lives in the dark underworld. [7] They rule the earthly world of men together. (Which best describes sentence 7?)
A.It is a compound sentence.
B.It is a compound-complex sentence.
C.It is a simple sentence.
D.It is a dependent sentence.

Answer 1

It is D, because if you saw a simple sentence that said, "They rule the earthly world of men together," you wouldn't know who "They" are. That is why it is dependent, because it is depending on the rest of the paragraph to do its part first. :D

Answer 2

D its a dependent sentence it doesnt have a subject so if you saw it by itself without the context of the rest of the paragraph it wouldnt make sense
