Hello, I am here to help. Don't worry about the points!

To figure out the Independent and dependent clauses in the sentence provided, we first need to simplify the grammar and get to the core meaning of the sentence. If we can find the meaning and restructure the sentence, it will help show you which clause is dependent and which is independent.  

Sentence: It is very important more important than the grade that I learn the material.

The meaning of this sentence is: It is important that I learn the material, more important than the grade.

How do we get that meaning from the confusing words above? If we take out "more important that the grade," we are left with "It is very important that I learn the material."

We now have our two clauses:

"It is very important that I learn the material"

and

"more important than the grade"

Which of these clauses can stand on its own as a complete sentence? The answer is "It is very important that I learn the material." That makes this the dependent clause, which means "more important than the grade" the dependent clause.

To relieve the confusion, you have to set the clauses apart in the sentence. The easiest way to do this is to put commas around the dependent clause to set it apart from the independent clause.

The correct way to punctuate the sentence is: It is very important, more important than the grade, that I learn the material.

Now you can easily see the two clauses and understand the meaning of the sentence.

How is conformity and individuality shown in "no gumption"
Vesna [10]

Individuality has been shown in "No Gumption" by showing the traits and the characteristics of Russell Baker that his mother realized which made him a writer. One of that situation was when he was eleven years old, he brought a text graded with A and his mother decided he could be a writer

<u>Explanation:</u>

"No Gumption" is a chapter taken from autobiography of Russell Baker where he tells how for his mother he did not have gumption at all, he was a shy boy who had to help his family in a difficult time, after his father's death. In this chapter, the writer is in the obligation of selling magazines to support his family, but the decision was made by his mother, because he was the man of the family and he was superposed to bring some money.

Unfortunately he was not like his younger sister Doris, who was intelligent and diligent. He had this job during a time, but he did not succeed, he did not feel comfortable ringing doors, actually, he felt scared of this. Finally, when he was eleven years old, he brought a text graded with A and his mother decided he could be a writer, and this time he liked this decision, because writers did not have to sell, writers did not have to ring doors.

Asking questions when something is unclear is part of personal responsibility.

<h3>What is a personal responsibility?</h3>

Personal responsibility is the capacity to acknowledge the significance of the norms society sets for conduct and to exert significant personal effort to uphold such norms. However, personal accountability also means that people don't look for reasons outside of themselves to blame when they don't perform to expectations. When people put the blame for their own shortcomings on their family, their peers, their financial situation, or their society, personal responsibility is destroyed. Education, marriage, and employment are the three areas of personal decision-making where the nation's adolescents and young people need to learn and practice personal responsibility the most.
