A dependent clause is a phrase that can't stand alone as a sentence. For example, "It was raining" can stand alone, and is an independent clause. "Because it was raining" cannot stand alone, thus a dependent clause.
The "this" to which the poet refers in the final line is "the poet's art," which means that, as long as his poem exists, people will remember that person.
<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>
"Sonnet 18" by Shakespeare is a poem about a beautiful woman with whom the speaker seems to be in love. The speaker tells her that her existence and her beauty will always be remembered, that they will never fade.
What the speaker means is that, as long as that poem exists and people read it, they will remember that woman's life and beauty. She is being immortalized in the poem.
Thus, when the speaker says in the final line, "So long lives this and this gives life to thee," the word "this" means the poem, the art that will keep her memory alive.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.
