Question

Which sentence contains a dependent clause?

Answer 1

Answer: B)

Explanation:

In the B) sentence a dependent clause is ''While camping'' and this part of a sentence can't stand alone without the rest of the sentence which is referring to the explanation of what happened during the camping.

• A dependent clause is considering a group of words who stood alone or in the sentence that has a subject and a verb. It is not a complete thought and we cannot understand it without the rest of the sentence.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C) C. After we stuffed ourselves, we went to the bowling alley.

Explanation:

In the English language, a dependent clause is a sentence that cannot stand alone on itself. There has to be more information linked to it, for the sentence to make sense.

Furthermore, there are three types of dependent clauses, noun clauses, adjective clauses and adverbial clauses.

In the examples given, all sentence make sense and can stand alone, while option C is the only one which won't make sense if the sentence was not completed.
