The complete question statement is

[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 of these is a simple sentence?

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the seven sentences given the last sentence i.e sentence #7 is the simple sentence.

A simple sentence is one that has only one independent clause as we can see incase of sentence 7. It contains only one subject (they) and one verb (rule). A simple sentence is also an indepedent clause. A dependent clause needs more than one clauses and it usually comes in complex or compound sentence structure.
