Answer:
In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," the protagonist refuses to read Artemidorus' letter because he considers that personal matters are not a priority. In this manner, he dismisses Artemidorus as if he were insane and it is suggested that he should present the letter to the Congress. Thus, the fact that Caesar does not give preference to his own life weakens him and predicts his tragic fate, since he is now completely unaware of the plot to murder him and of the people that will turn agaist him.
Answer: The sentence contains a single independent clause.
Explanation: There is only one subject+predicate pair in this sentence: "We" (subject pronoun) forms the whole subject, while the predicate is formed by "took" (verb) + "a long walk" (main noun phrase of the object taken by the verb <em>took</em>) + "along the path" (prepositional phrase modifying <em>walk</em>) + "beside the bubbling stream" (prepositional phrase modifying <em>path</em>). There are no other verbs, therefore this is a simple sentence (simple sentences always consist of a single independent clause).
