The correct answer is Trevor was sleeping

Explanation:

In grammar, an independent clauses are a set of words that are independent which means they do not need any other elements to stand, they express a complete idea and also they have at least one subject and one verb. This type of clauses differ from dependent clauses because dependent clauses need from other clauses to be complete and also, these clauses are linked to independent clauses by subordinating conjunctions such as because, when or while. This means in the case of the sentence "Trevor was sleeping when the doorbell rang" this sentence contains a dependent clause which is "when the doorbell rang" linked to the independent clause "Trevor was sleeping" that even without the dependent clause express a complete idea and contains a subject and a verb. Therefore, the independent clause in this sentence is "Trevor was sleeping".

What were two effects of the Louisiana purchase on the untied states?
aliina [53]
The first impact is that it doubled the size of the country. Our borders went from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains, north to Canada, and south to the boundary with Spanish Florida. It helped to secure the port of New Orleans and the use of the Mississippi river for us. When Spain cut off our right to deposit goods at New Orleans and limited our use of the Mississippi River, this presented a serious challenge for us. Western farmers needed to store goods at New Orleans and ship products on the Mississippi River. It is what prompted our original offer to France, once France got control of this region from Spain.

The Louisiana Purchase also made it clear to other countries that we would try to find ways to peacefully solve our problems. Instead of fighting Spain, and then France, over the use of the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans, we tried to find a peaceful solution to resolve an issue. It also showed our own people, especially the farmers who lived in the west, that our government did care about them also and would work to meet their needs. This helped western farmers remain loyal to our country.
