2, 4, and 5.

- 2 ("Reading novels is one of the greatest pleasures in my life.") — one independent clause (gerund phrase subject + predicate).
- 4 ("Some call reading fantasy and science fiction a form of escapism.") — single independent clause.
- 5 ("One of the best ways to learn about history is by reading historical novels.") — one independent clause (no subordinating conjunction or dependent clause).

Sentences 1 and 3 contain dependent clauses ("if you look closely" and "that you have never been before"), so they are complex.
