Question

read the summary of the conclusion of \the world on turtles 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 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 this summary? ○ it has a variety of sentence structures. ○ most of the sentences begin with independent clauses. ○ each sentence is complex - compound. ○ each sentence begins with the subject.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option against the summary sentences:

• "Each sentence begins with the subject.": Sentence 3 starts with the dependent clause "Though they tried...", so this is false.
• "Each sentence is complex-compound.": Sentences like [1] ("When the twins grew up, they continued to fight.") are complex, not complex-compound, so this is false.
• "It has a variety of sentence structures.": The summary includes simple sentences, complex sentences, and compound sentences, with varied sentence openings (subjects, dependent clauses, time phrases).
• "Most of the sentences begin with independent clauses.": Sentences 3 starts with a dependent clause, sentence 5 starts with a participial phrase, so this is false.

Answer:

It has a variety of sentence structures.
