Answer:

The words that form the independent clause in the sentence "The movie, which we watched yesterday, was hilarious." are: The movie was hilarious.

Explanation:

There are two types of clauses:

  • Independent clauses: they can stand on their own. That is to say, that they make sense when we read them. There is no need for extra information to understand the meaning.
  • Dependent clauses: they can not stand on their own. In other words, they depend on another clause, which gives the necessary information to understand the meaning of the dependant clause.

Both types of clauses consist mainly of a subject and a verb, they are separated by commas, or they have subordinating conjunction at the beginning of the clause.

In this case, the clause between commas (which we watched yesterday) is the dependant clause. I can not fully understand the meaning of it when reading only that clause since information is missing. The clause The movie was hilarious is the independent clause because it can stand on its own.

Read the excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech "A Tryst with Destiny.”
kramer

Answer:

1. People are still living in poverty and inequality in India.

3. Millions of people are suffering and are in need of help.

Explanation:

"Tryst with Destiny" was a speech made by <em>Jawaharlal Neru</em>, an Indian independence activist who served as India's first Prime Minister. The speech as made when India gained its independence from the British Empire.

The speech was meant to tell the people of the history of India until it, finally, was able to achieve freedom. It talks about suffering of all the people who never gave up for that particular day (liberation day) to finally arrive.

Although India is finally free, it is still a problem for the nation to end the millions of people who are suffering. So, this means that these millions of people are in need of help. This is because many people are still living in poverty and inequality in India. Thus, the goal for India's full liberation is not yet achieved. It is then important that people help each other.

Construct five examples of simple sentences.
Nonamiya [84]
  <span>A simple sentence (called an independent clause), includes a verb and noun. 

Example: The boy fell (verb: fell, noun: boy) 
Example: In the tub, the boy fell on his bottom. (verb: fell, noun: boy) 
Example: The dog barked. 
Example The dog barked at the cat last night. 
Example: This question is odd. 

Compound sentences include two independent clauses but doesn't require a dependent clause, and the independent clauses are connected using a conjunction (but), or punctuation like a semi colon (;) or comma (,). 

Example: My friend invited me to the game but my parents didn't let me go. (2 clauses: invited to a game, parents didn't let him go. Conjunction: "but") 

Example: I have to stay up all night to finish this, my meeting is first thing in the morning. (2 clauses: stay up all night, meeting in the morning. Punctuation is a comma).</span>
