Question:

What style of sentence dominates this passage?

A Hypotactic.
explanation

Hypotaxis or hypotactic sentences are ones in which clauses are subordinate to other clauses (e.g. "I am late because I overslept"). This is the kind of sentence structure that gives rise to the long, winding syntax of this passage. On the other hand, parataxis or paratactic sentences are ones in which short, simple clauses are placed beside each other without subordination (e.g. "I am late; I overslept").
