Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe was an American author    

Explanation:

A clause is a group of related words that must have a subject and a verb; it can be either dependent or independent. A dependent clause can not stand alone because, on its own, it does not express a complete thought. An independent clause, on the other hand, does express a complete thought, so it can stand on its own.

The provided sentence has both types of clauses: An independent one "Edgar Allan Poe was an American author" and a dependent clause "who wrote Gothic and macabre short stories." The first one is independent because "Edgar Allan Poe was an American author" has complete meaning on its own: it does not need another clause in order to make sense.

What is the word for a shocking statement that lacks facts to back it up. E.g. someone talking about climate change and saying “
Sedaia [141]

The word used for such statements as described here is sensationalist.

Explanation:

Sensationalist statements are those that are designed to gauge reactions out of people and not necessarily raise the level of, or contribute onto any meaningful discussion in any way.

The statement has no semblance of facts to back it up and is often very exaggerated form of a truth that has been convoluted beyond its sense so it serves only to rile people up and not to make them discuss things.

It is often used in rhetoric to drive the points away from discussion and make speeches out of debates.
