The subject of the independent clause in the sentence we are analyzing here is "The only people", and the verb is "were", as further explained below.

<h3>What is an independent clause?</h3>

An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate. It conveys a full thought, which means it can be completely understood, without the need for other clauses.

The sentence we are analyzing here contains one independent clause and two subordinate clauses. The problem is that one of those subordinate clauses is placed between the subject and the verb of the independent clause, which makes it a bit confusing:

  • Independent clause: The only people were a few Tarrageishan cannibals.
  • First subordinate clause: who witnessed Duncan's misadventure.
  • Second subordinate clause: who happened to be passing by.

Now that we know which one is the independent clause, we can easily identify its subject and verb:

  • Subject - The only people.
  • Verb - were.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.
