Read the summary of the conclusion of “The World on Turtle’s Back.”[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] After the right-handed twin chose a deer antler as a weapon, he 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 sentence is a compound-complex sentence?
Sentence 5 is compound-complex because it has a dependent clause, “After the right-handed twin chose a deer antler as a weapon,” and two independent clauses: “he overpowered his brother” and “he threw him off the edge of the Earth.” The independent clauses are joined by “and,” so sentence 5 is the compound-complex sentence.
