Question 1 • OK-English Language Arts 12 A Martin

Read the sentence.We took a long walk along the path beside the bubbling stream.

Answer
A
The sentence contains a single dependent clause.
B
The sentence contains a single independent clause.
C
The sentence contains both independent and dependent clauses.
D
The sentence contains neither an independent nor a dependent clause.

Explanation

The sentence has a subject, “We,” and a complete predicate, “took a long walk,” so it expresses a complete thought. “Along the path beside the bubbling stream” adds details but does not contain another clause with its own subject and verb. Therefore, the sentence contains a single independent clause: choice B.
