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

what is the central idea of this paragraph? 1. the author's parents gave the same responses to questions about the Dominican Rep

olchik [2.2K]

This question is incomplete because the paragraph is missing; here is the missing part of the question:

"A Genetics of Justice”

In December 1960, four months after our arrival, Time magazine reported the murder of the three Mirabal sisters, who along with their husbands had started the national underground Dominican Republic. My parents confiscated the magazine. To our many questions about what was going on, my mother always had the ready answer, "En boca cerrada no entran moscas.” No flies fly into a closed mouth. Later, I found out that this very saying had been scratched on the lintel of the entrance of the SIM's torture center at La Cuarenta.

Answer: 2. The author's parents were afraid to discuss murders or event in the Dominican Republic

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "A genetics to Justice," the narrator explains her parents avoided speaking about the situation in the Dominican Republic; this can be seen in "I knew very little about what was actually going on in the Dominican Republic". Additionally, the general attitude of her parents including the fact they spoke "in hushed voices" about the topic, and " confiscated the magazine" about the murders of some Dominicans show the parents are afraid to discuss any situation to this country. This idea is also explained in "No flies fly into a closed mouth", which shows the parents are afraid something bad will happen to them if they speak about this topic. Thus, the central idea is expressed by option 2.
