Answer:

(C) The baby cried.

Explanation:

Independent clauses are those words or groups of words that have a meaningful passage, can make complete sentence on it's own. independent clauses are always present in a sentence.

There are two types of clauses- independent and subordinate. While independent clauses are the words that make sense and can be used on their own, subordinate clauses are just the opposite. They are just the other half of the sentence that does not have any meaning by itself.

Out of the four options provided, the third option (C) is an independent clause. "The baby cried" is a complete sentence on it's own, making a meaningful sentence. The other options (A), (B) and (D) are all subordinate clauses as they form only a part of a sentence, with no real sense on it's own.

<h3>Question-</h3>

Fill in the blanks.

<h3>Answer-</h3>

Tense of the verb tells <u>when(</u><u>time </u><u>of </u><u>an </u><u>action</u><u>)</u> an action is done. There are three tenses of the verbs: <u>past</u> tense, <u>present</u> tense, and the <u>future</u> tense. Past tense tells about actions that happened in <u>the </u>past. <u>“</u><u>W</u><u>a</u><u>s</u><u>”</u> or <u>“</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>”</u> are added <u>before </u><u>the </u><u>main </u><u>verbs</u> to change it in past tense. Present tense tells about actions that are <u>currently</u><u> </u><u>happening in the </u><u>present</u>(did some changes to the question). We add <u>“</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>”</u> or <u>“</u><u>a</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>”</u> to change the verb into present tense. Future tense tells about actions that <u>will </u><u>happen</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>future</u>. Adding <u>“</u><u>will”</u> or <u>“</u><u>s</u><u>h</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>l</u><u>”</u> to the verb will change it in future tense.

How to write a body paragraph
Tpy6a [65]

In the body of the essay, all the preparation up to this point comes to fruition. The topic you have chosen must now be explained, described, or argued.

Each main idea that you wrote down in your diagram or outline will become one of the body paragraphs. If you had three or four main ideas, you will have three or four body paragraphs.

Each body paragraph will have the same basic structure.

1.Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence form.

If your main idea is "reduces freeway congestion," you might say this:

Public transportation reduces freeway congestion.

2.Next, write down each of your supporting points for that main idea, but leave four or five lines in between each point.

3.In the space under each point, write down some elaboration for that point.

Elaboration can be further description or explanation or discussion.

Supporting Point

Commuters appreciate the cost savings of taking public transportation rather than driving.

Elaboration

Less driving time means less maintenance expense, such as oil changes.

Of course, less driving time means savings on gasoline as well.

In many cases, these savings amount to more than the cost of riding public transportation.

4.If you wish, include a summary sentence for each paragraph.

This is not generally needed, however, and such sentences have a tendency to sound stilted, so be cautious about using them.

Once you have fleshed out each of your body paragraphs, one for each main point, you are ready to continue.
