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".

"That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it.”

The funny thing is that for example and that example i'm going to use, you might also see it or experience, let's say when your talking to a friend, and were talking about a trouble someone caused you and while you were explaining it a random person who over-heard you got into the conversation to and started complaining without even knowing what or WHOM you were talking about :-/. 

Twain might have used this because that's how some people are and the impact is that sometimes before you or anyone to be exact don't jump into conclusions or interrupt someone when there talking unless they want you to speak to them.
