Question

Which of the following sentences contains an independent and dependent clause?

Answer 1

There is only one sentence which contains an independent and dependent clause, and that is sentence number 3 - Billy Jo thinks that the sky is blue because the sun paints it each morning.
Here, 'Billy Jo thinks' is the independent clause, and there are two dependent clauses - 'that the sky is blue' and 'because the sun paints it each morning.'
1 is incorrect because there are two independent clauses; 2 is incorrect because there is one independent clause; 4 is incorrect because there is also one independent clause (while dreaming is a phrase, it is not a clause).

Answer 2

I took the test, and  

B. Billy Jo thinks that the sky is blue because the sun paints it each morning.

Was the correct answer
