Question

Which underlined words form a dependent clause? A) Kerry rode her bike around the lake three times. B) The ancient tree dwarfed all the others in the forest. C) The children squirmed and danced in front of the photographer. D) Although the rain poured down, the Eagles and Panthers continued their soccer game.

Answer 1

Answer: Although the rain poured down.

Explanation: Although the rain poured down is the dependent clause because it doesn't make complete meaning unless the other half of the sentence is added.

A dependent clause most times needs an independent clause to make complete meaning or to be properly understood.
