The sentence that is correctly construed with an independent clause and a dependent clause is A) As they examined the evidence afresh, they thought of a completely different explanation.

"Brennan on the Moor" is structured in this way, so that the longer stanzas can follow the tale of Brennan and give more details to the story.

This is a complex sentence it includes a subordinate clause (one that CANNOT stand by itself), and a dependent clause. You can tell this because if I were to walk into a room and say, "When K and C read the same foldable....", you would be waiting to hear the rest, wouldn't you? A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (but, and, for, nor, or, so, yet). A simple sentence is just an independent clause.
