Answer:
1. Since Carmen was so hungry, she stopped at the deli and bought a sandwich.
DEPENDENT CLAUSE : Since Carmen was so hungry
2. The train was running late as usual, so Kristen decided to call a taxi.
INDEPENDENT CLAUSE: Kristen decided to call a taxi.
Explanation:
A dependent clause is a clause that provides a sentence with additional information but makes no sense if it stands alone.
It has a subject and a verb.
An independent clause is a clause that can stand on its own and have meaning. It contains a subject and predicate.
They can be joined to a sentence using a semicolon, a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction.
