Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that the independent ones are 3, 4, and 9. I think the dependent ones would be 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.

Explanation:

Independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence and dependent clauses cannot be on their own. They DEPEND on the independent clause to form a complete thought. For example, sentence number 5 says "the witness told the police what she saw". 'What she saw' does not make a complete thought on its own, so because it is dependent on the other part of the sentence, it is a dependent clause. On the other hand, in example number 9, "I am leaving" makes sense on its own so it's a independent clause.
