I adore The Crucible, and I'm actually excited to find a question about it here (I'm sad, I know). One of the only plays that has made me cry!

Abigail Williams and John Proctor have engaged in an affair prior to this. Proctor evidently still has feelings for Abigail, despite everything, and thus has some hesitation towards revealing her as a liar and a fraud. Him revealing such things would also lead to the exposing of their affair, thus exposing his own wickedness. Equally, although he engaged in adultery, Proctor still sees himself as a Christian man. To implicate the seemingly young and innocent Abigail in such business would taint this, both for himself and in the eyes of the court and community. His place in the community is all he's got left, really, and encompasses most of his identity.

Which sentence contains a dependent clause A. Until we get to Brooklyn, we're not allowed to sleep B. Please use more than one p

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Sentence has as many clauses as it has predicates.

A. Predicates are get to, (a)re not allowed to sleep. So this sentence has two clauses.

B. Predicate is use, so there is only one clause.

C. Predicate is will receive, so there is only one clause.

D. Predicates are will major and will minor, so there are two clauses.

Independent clauses are the ones which can stand alone and pass on the meaning on their own.

Dependent clauses serve to more precisely determine the meaning of the independent clause.

Answers B and C have only one clause and since it can stand alone, it is an independent clause, so we do not have any dependent clause.

Answer D has two clauses, but they are both independent. (you can say I will major in chemistry and I will minor in Theater arts separately)

Finally answer A has two clauses, the first one is dependent ( Until we get to Brooklyn), the second one is independent (we`re not allowed to sleep)
