The Outsiders are about a journal entry that the main character Ponyboy is writing for his English Homework. He is part of the group called the Greasers. Another group are the Socs and they are enemies. One day Ponyboy and his friend Johnny find themselves in trouble with the Socs. While they are fighting, Johnny takes out his knife and stabs Bob, fatally killing him. They run away to an abandoned church, where they stay a couple of days. Soon, Dally picks them up and they see that the church is up in flames and some kids are trapped in there. They go rescue them but a giant piece of wood falls on Johnny and is sent to the hospital. The rest of the gang is there and Johnny is charged for killing Bob. Because of the Socs and the Greasers have a fight. The Greasers win. Unfortunately, Johnny dies in the hospital and Dally robs a store because of this. As he is running with the merchandise, he is hot by the police. The story ends just how it started as Ponyboy is writing his journal entry about these vents.
I'll post parts of the story that used the dogs as metaphors.
<span>"He chuckled as their muffled noises reminded him of whimpering puppies down at the animal shelter where he volunteered. Puppies always seemed to make noises as they played and whined for attention from the older dogs or volunteers. He liked working in the smaller dog area where all the older dogs looked out for the puppies, just like family, just like his family of older members looking out for the younger ones."
The metaphor of the dog gave me a clear picture of what their family is and how they act towards one another.
Their family is big in number and most of them are kids. They are a boisterous bunch and they enjoy each others company just like puppies. The older batch of cousins are like the big dogs that keep watch over the younger cousins like puppies.
Their family is big, happy, warm, and clearly enjoys each others company.</span>

Answer:
The missing question is Which sentence from the passage is complex?
The answer is: The panther crept into a cave because it was afraid.
Explanation:
A complex sentence has an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Independent clauses are the ones that have meaning on their own so, they can stand alone as sentences. On the other hand, dependent clauses can not stand alone; they need the support of another clause to make sense.
In the sentence <em>"The panther crept into a cave because it was afraid."</em> the independent clause is <em>The panther crept into a cave </em>while the dependent clause is <em>because it was afraid</em>. The word "<em>because</em>" is subordinating conjunction since it is a word that connects the two clauses.
