A subordinate clause is a clause that contains both a subject and a verb, but cannot stand on its own because it does not convey a complete message. It needs the main sentence in order to clearly understand its thought. The subordinate in the given sentence is: the children enjoyed. This is an adjective clause, which modifies the noun "book". It is not introduced by any subordinating conjunctions.
The answer is definitely D, because it contains two independent clauses that are joined together without a comma or conjunction. (An independent clause just means a chunk of language that has both a subject and a verb and could be a complete sentence on its own.)
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.
A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.
The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:
Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.
Squirrel in a tree
Quirky as can be
Unaware of me
It sits where I can see
Resting, watch it stir
Rustling, fuzzy fur
Energetic whir
Leaves in a blur.
Uhhhhh what the heck does the first part mean.
