Answer:
compound-complex
Explanation:
A compound-compex sentence is one that comprises more than one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. As you may already know, the dependent clauses are those that cannot send a message on their own, as they need a complement to make sense. The independent clauses, however, are the clauses that manage to send messages on their own.
In the question aciam we have an example of compound-compex sentence. That's because "Belle is a competitive horseback rider" is an independent clause, "she will be competing in the next World Equestrian Games" is more of an independent clause, while "which are held every four years" is a dependent clause.
Answer:
The answer to Part A would be Ignorant, as the author goes on to state that his youthful understanding had struggled in vain. If someone is ignorant of something, yet they do not take the time to actually go research or learn about that thing, then they would be struggling in vain because they are selfish and not taking time to research what it is that the other person is saying that they do not understand.
For the answer to Part B, I would say that (Frederick) Douglass' new awareness of how owners maintain control over slaves allows him to better understand how to improve his situation. I say this because he seems to have an awakening/epiphany in the very last line: "I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty".

When I was younger my dream was to become a singer, but as I got older I realized that it was never going to happen because for one I don't have a good singing voice and two...I don't even know how to become a singer. But it's all good because eventually I got over that stage and right now when I grow even more older I now want to become a vet because of the passion I have for animals. ♡
