Read the excerpt. Because the endangered panthers living in the forests need large, connected territories to roam. What is the best review of this excerpt?

The word “Because” makes “the endangered panthers living in the forests need large, connected territories to roam” a dependent clause. It gives a reason but does not express a complete thought by itself, so the excerpt should be revised—for example, by adding an independent clause: “Because the endangered panthers need large, connected territories to roam, protecting large areas of forest is important.”
