Just as two colors will, when carefully mixed, form a third and different color (yellow and blue, for example, produce green), s

o too it is sometimes possible to see in the cooperative efforts of living things a resultant accomplishment that defies description on the basis of the characteristics of the creatures involved.

Fittoniya [83]
We wouldn’t have the resources we need to get through life such as cooking food, clothing for when we get cold, weapons to protect ourselves, and generally things to keep us alive.

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.
