Answer: C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction) Explanation: Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision. Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own. On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction. In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and". So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause". However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".

Answer:
The point of view in this paragraph is:
a. First person.
Explanation:
The narrator of the excerpt is telling the story from a first-person point of view. The easiest way to confirm that is by taking a look at the pronouns used:
The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my
breathing with the rhythm.
<u>First-person narrators use first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me". This type of narrator gives us his/her own perspective on things. That means we accompany this narrator throughout the story, see things from his perspective, and only get to know what he knows. One advantage of first-person point of view is that we get to dive deeper into the narrator's feelings and thoughts. One disadvantage is that he is a biased narrator, which makes him untrustworthy.</u>
