The independent clause is "WE ARE NOT EATING ON THE PATIO" the reason why, is because the second part of the sentence cannot stand on its own, due to the fact it has a because in it. because is a transition word.

Answer:

Your answer would be that the independent clause in the sentence is the following one: "we are not eating on the patio".

Explanation:

The sentence above is a complex sentence. A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence because it represents a complete thought; it contains a subject and a predicate and does not depend on any other clause to complete its meaning (1). On the contrary, dependent clauses depend on the meain sentence to complete their meaning. 2 cannot stand alone as a sentence because it is a dependent clause. That is why the sentence is grammatically incorrect.

1) We are not eating on the patio

2) *Because it is raining too hard

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The cut provides a better way to enjoy the fish, in addition to providing a visual appeal to dishes made with this type of food.

The cut can change the look that the fish is offered. The look, in spi, will not alter the flavor that the prepared fish should have, but it does provide a visual appeal that can be a differential when buying the fish or a dish made by him.

In addition, the cut can provide lighter parts with lower fat content, as it allows more tastful parts to be removed from the fish, in addition, it allows parts that are not of interest to the consumer to be discarded.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's final Act of "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," Balthasar delivers news to Romeo that Juliet is dead. Balthasar did not know about the Friar's plan. Before going to Verona to see Juliet, Romeo desperately seeks out an apothecary and convinces him to sell him poison. Meanwhile, Friar Lawrence talks to Friar John. Friar John was supposed to send news to Romeo in Mantua about Juliet, but he was unable to enter the city because of a disease. The Friar goes to the Capulet monument to meet Juliet before she wakes up. Before the Friar reaches the monument, Paris and his page are already there. Paris places flowers by Juliet, but then his page whistles because someone else is coming. It is Romeo and Balthasar. Romeo gives Balthasar a letter to give to his father the next morning. Balthasar does not listen and hides instead. Romeo encounters Paris and they fight. Romeo kills Paris. Before Paris dies, he asks to be placed next to Juliet. Romeo then seeks out Juliet's body, before he drinks the poison and dies. Outside of the monument, the Friar greets Balthasar. Once inside the monument, the Friar sees Romeo and Paris' dead bodies. He walks over to Juliet who is now awake. Juliet asks for Romeo, but the Friar tells her that Romeo and Paris are dead. The Friar tells Juliet that the watch is coming and that he can take her to a sisterhood of holy nuns. The Friar leaves thinking that Juliet will not leave. She sees that romeo drank poison, and she kisses him to try to poison herself. She then hears the watch, and takes Romeo's dagger and stabs herself. The Prince arrives at the scene shortly before the Capulets and Montagues. Their parents are devastated when they hear the news. Montague reveals that his wife also died because she was upset about Romeo's death. Friar Lawrence explained what happened, and it is confirmed by Balthasar. The two families end their long-standing feud, and the Prince says that Verona paid a high price.
