Question

Identify the independent clauses from the following sentences.
The students sprinted to the playground when the bell rang.

  1. The students sprinted to the playground
  2. When the bell rang
  3. None of the above

hintHint:

An independent clause is a clause that can form a complete sentence by itself.

The correct answer is: The students sprinted to the playground


    Option 1 is the correct answer. The two types of clauses are independent and dependent. An independent clause has a subject as well as a predicate and can stand alone as a complete sentence. "The students sprinted to the playground" is a complete sentence but "when the bell rang" is not.
