Answer 1

Answer:

• The cat's toy is lost

Dependent Clauses

• if it rains later
• when the party begins
• since Lena has a new blog  
• because Keisha is busy

An independent clause is a clause that can stand by itself and make meaning in a sentence. It contains a subject and a predicate.

A dependent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb, does not express a complete thought and thus cannot stand alone.
