Question 1 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

Which of these are clauses? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
the lion roared
B
if we made pancakes for breakfast
C
whispered to me
D
the red bicycle in the driveway
E
because I lost my bracelet

Explanation

A clause contains a subject and a verb. “The lion roared” has the subject “lion” and the verb “roared,” so it is a clause. “If we made pancakes for breakfast” and “because I lost my bracelet” also each contain a subject and a verb, even though they cannot stand alone as complete sentences. The other choices are missing either a subject or a verb.
