Final answer:

The composition as a single transformation of the knight's movement in this scenario is 2 steps forward and 3 steps to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The composition as a single transformation of the knight's movement in this scenario can be represented as two steps forward and three steps to the left.

In the first move, the knight moves forward 2 spaces and to the left 1 space. This can be represented as 2 steps forward and 1 step to the left.

In the second move, the knight moves 2 spaces to the left and 1 space backwards. This can be represented as 2 steps to the left and 1 step backward.

So, combining the two moves, the composition is 2 steps forward and 3 steps to the left.
