Question

Which sentence component is NOT present in the following sentence? Architect David Foster has designed a skyscraper in which each floor can rotate, creating dynamic shapes.
A. a prepositional phrase
B. an adjective
C. a dependent clause
D. two independent clauses

Answer 1

Answer:

D. two independent clauses

Explanation:

This sentence consists of one independent clause, being “Architect David Foster has designed a skyscraper” and a dependent clause, being “in which each floor can rotate, creating dynamic shapes.” Thus, it does not have two independent clauses.

A clause is a group of words having a subject and a verb, it can be classified into independent, when the clause expresses a complete idea on its own and can stand alone as a full sentence, and dependent, when the clause does not express a complete thought on its own and thus, can not stand alone.
