Read the paragraph.[1] When Amira woke up, it was still dark outside. [2] Although she was tired, she stumbled out of bed, brushed her teeth, and put on her running clothes. [3] When she went into the kitchen, she saw that her mom had left her favorite water bottle on the counter. [4] As she had done every day for the past month, she opened the front door, stepped onto the pavement, and began her morning ritual.Which of the following best describes this paragraph?
Answer
A
Each sentence begins with the subject.
B
Each sentence begins with a dependent clause.
C
Each sentence begins with the predicate.
D
Each sentence begins with an independent clause.
Explanation
Each sentence starts with a dependent clause: “When Amira woke up,” “Although she was tired,” “When she went into the kitchen,” and “As she had done every day for the past month.” These opening clauses do not express complete thoughts on their own; each needs the rest of the sentence. So the paragraph is best described as having sentences that begin with a dependent clause.
