Assignment # 10 A

" A coyote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north, or maybe a timber wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other."

What is the sentence type here, and why?

Original:
This is a compound sentence because it hs two independent clauses. The first independent is " They called them up north." The subject is " they" and "called" is the verb. The second independent caluse is " one begging from the other." The suject is " one" and "begging" is the verb.

Revision:

This is a complete sentence.

In my opinion, this is a fragment-complex sentence because it has no independent clause and only one dependent clause. The dependent clause is "as they called them up north, or maybe a timber wolf." The pronoun "they" functions as the subject and "called" functions as the verb. So, this is not a complete sentence.
