The paragraph below has been rewritten with greater word variety, with the changes made in bold:
<span>Last summer I read a book that I really enjoyed. It was the first time I have ever been so engaged in a story. The book centered around a man who had been shipwrecked on a deserted island. It was an excellent tale, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes an exciting novel. </span>
Answer: 2,4,1
Explanation:I took the test
A phrase is a group of words that can serve to describe or modify one or more words in a sentence, but it lacks a subject. It cannot stand on its own and would not make any sense unless included in a complete sentence. A clause, however, contains both a subject and a predicate (verb). An independent clause is a complete sentence that stands on its own, while a dependent clause is not a complete sentence but still contains a subject and predicate. Thus, the correct answer above is C, "A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not."
B. I think this is right!
Shakespeare was born on 23 April 1564
