Question 4 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

because the teacher arrived

Answer
A
clause
B
not a clause (no subject)
C
not a clause (no verb)

Explanation

“Because the teacher arrived” has a subject, “the teacher,” and a verb, “arrived.” A group of words with a subject and a verb is a clause, even though “because” makes it dependent and unable to stand alone as a complete sentence. The correct choice is A, clause.
