The correct answer is:  [A]:  
________________________________________________________
                   "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
 Choice:  [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 

 In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice:  [C]:  " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1)  Adverb clauses are "modifiers". 

2)  Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.

3)  Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider:  Choice:  [C]:  
_______________________________________________________
         "Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."
 
     →  Note:  Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
    "Because of the defense driving lessons" ; 

→  This is NOT an "adverb clause".  An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH  a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".

Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:
 
"Choice:  [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 

   →  <u>Note</u>:  Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
     " if they do not study ." 
_______________________________________________________

→  Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
      1)  This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is:  "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people");  AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .

      2)  This clause modifies "people" . 
 
      3)  This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus;  this very answer choice:  "Answer choice:  [A]:
__________________________________________________________
       →    "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 
__________________________________________________________
               →  is the only sentence — 
                     (among the answer choices provided) — 
                     that:   1)   is an "adverb clause" ; AND:               
                     that:   2)    is the correct answer.

Francisco: Nay, answer me. Stand, and unfold yourself.
Rainbow [258]

I believe the answer would be withdraw your cape. Unfold yourself wouldn't really mean unfold yourself, just take away your cape and talk.

Which choice uses a semicolon correctly to join two independent clauses? My sister and I love to cook; we spend hours cooking to
ololo11 [35]
An independent clause is a sentence or part of one that can stand alone.

So I have a feeling that the first one is correct as "My sister and I love to cook" and "we spend hours cooking together" can both stand alone yet are joined by a semicolon.

I hope this has helped
