Question

read the paragraph, which is a summary of a slave narrative by olaudah equiano.
1 while he was working for thomas farmer, he began to buy fruits and other goods and sell them himself. 2
he faced insults and difficulties doing this; however, he was determined to continue making money, which he
did. 3 he wanted to obtain enough savings to buy his freedom, which robert king had promised him he could
do for the same amount that king had paid for him. 4 when he had saved enough money, he bought his
freedom from king and lived the rest of his life as a free man.
which sentence in the paragraph is structured differently than the others?
○ sentence 1
○ sentence 2
○ sentence 3
○ sentence 4

Explanation:

Sentences 1, 3, and 4 are complex sentences with a single independent clause paired with dependent clauses. Sentence 2 is a compound-complex sentence: it has two independent clauses ("He faced insults and difficulties doing this" and "he was determined to continue making money, which he did") joined by the conjunctive adverb "however" after a semicolon, plus a dependent clause. This dual independent clause structure makes it different from the others.

Answer:

sentence 2
