<u>a quatrain </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u>
Could I have more information please or is that the full question
An independent clause is found in a compound sentence and occurs when each clause can operate as a complete sentence in it's own right.
A subordinate clause adds information but does not serve as a sentence in it's own right for example, it relies on the main clause within the sentence to make sense.
The sentence you construct would be a compound sentence and would read:
The journalist met a source at the hotel SO THAT he would get the facts for an article.
This may mean that the person in the future will not be able to understand or comprehend what a person is saying to them, if they do not listen to them now.......hopefully this helps
