Maybe, because they did not believe the would succeed or survive.
Hey there,
The historical reality about the California Gold Rush represented in the fictional paragraph is A) the optimism of those who participated. Those who were after the gold had already big dreams and plans for the fortune they were after and it seemed that nothing would bring them down. They also didn't mind the skepticism of the folk they encountered along the way.

A dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own. This means that it does not have a subject that matches a verb to form a complete sentence or thought. The correct answer for this case, would be A.
In the clause, “during intermission, while we were discussing the performance” there are prepositional phrases that need to be accompanied by an independent clause to make a complete sentence.
A way to potentially complete this sentence would be “ during intermission, when we were discussing the performance, we ordered a popcorn from the concession stand in the theater.”
Precise direction? Are those two points separated, or two words to form one point?
