Question

Select the sentence combining two independent clauses.

Answer 1

Answer:

The water is cold, but the sand is warm.

Explanation:

An independent clause is one that can stand alone in a sentence because it makes complete meaning by itself. This means that it does not another support from another sentence to be clearly understood by the reader. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate. Among the options listed above, the third sentence can be identified as having two independent clauses. They are;

1. The water is cold.

2. But the sand is warm.

Each of the separated sentences still expresses a complete thought.
