B. Because you don't want to have a sentence that isn't complete in an essay
Answer:
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Determined to save their home -- not to mention his -- Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. I hope to see my Pilot face to face
Explanation:
In grammar, an independent clause refers to a clause that expresses a complete idea or thought, which means other words or sentence should not be added to it and therefore the clause is independent. Additionally, for a clause to be independent it needs to contain at least a subject, which is the person or agent in the clause, and the main action, which is expressed by a verb. Also, different to dependent clauses, independent clause never begging by a subordinating conjunction such as although, because or when as this shows the sentence needs from another sentence and is dependent.
Considering this, from the options provided the one that is an example of an independent clause in the poem "Crossing the Bar" is "I hope to see my Pilot face to face" because this sentence expresses a complete idea, contains a subject (I) and a verb (hope) and does not need from another sentence to stand, features that belong to independent clauses. Also, other options contain subordinating conjunctions or are not complete in meaning which makes them dependent clauses.
