Question

A group of words that has a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought is called: a. Independent clause b. Dependent clause Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B

Answer 1

Answer:

B- Dependent clause

Explanation: An example : 'My father is reading a book because my mother is sleeping.' 'My father is reading a book' is an independent clause and could be a sentence on its own. 'Because my mother is sleeping' is dependent and makes no sense without its independent counterpart. Dependent clauses often don't make sense on their own.
