The statement most accurately describes this excerpt is that it contains two dependent <u>clauses</u> and one independent clause.

<h3>What are dependent and independent clauses? </h3>

An independent clause is the main clause which is the subject and verb as well as complete as the sentence. However, the dependent clause is incomplete and<u> cannot stand alone</u>.

Therefore, "<u>after a strenuous climb</u>" and "<u>night was approaching rapidly</u>" are dependent clauses that become absolute due to the independent clause that is  "hikers decided to make camp before reaching the summit."

Add a comma to the first sentence to separate the subordinate clause from the main clause
velikii [3]

When talking about recycling, people don't seem to consider the recycling of clothing.

The comma should be placed between the first use of recycling and people. The subordinate clause is "when talking about recycling". This is a clause because of the word "when". When makes the reader wonder when what? The main clause is "people don't seem to consider the recycling of clothing."
