A phrase is a group of words that can serve to describe or modify one or more words in a sentence, but it lacks a subject. It cannot stand on its own and would not make any sense unless included in a complete sentence. A clause, however, contains both a subject and a predicate (verb). An independent clause is a complete sentence that stands on its own, while a dependent clause is not a complete sentence but still contains a subject and predicate. Thus, the correct answer above is C, "A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not."
