Answer is C. evaluative and interpretive
Answer: The sentence contains a single independent clause.
Explanation: There is only one subject+predicate pair in this sentence: "We" (subject pronoun) forms the whole subject, while the predicate is formed by "took" (verb) + "a long walk" (main noun phrase of the object taken by the verb <em>took</em>) + "along the path" (prepositional phrase modifying <em>walk</em>) + "beside the bubbling stream" (prepositional phrase modifying <em>path</em>). There are no other verbs, therefore this is a simple sentence (simple sentences always consist of a single independent clause).
I believe it is either D or B, a signal word can be a warning or let you know about something.
