Question 8 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

Which is an example of a dependent clause?

Answer
A
generally she prefers baseball to soccer
B
the game resumed later that afternoon
C
as the storm approaches from the north
D
comfortable uniforms were necessary

Explanation

A dependent clause has a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought on its own. In “as the storm approaches from the north,” “storm” is the subject and “approaches” is the verb; “as” makes the clause dependent. The other choices express complete thoughts.
