Which identifies and explains the PRIMARY function of the underlined words?
That boy in the fourth row is Bella's cousin.
A) a dependent clause that modifies Bella
B) a prepositional phrase telling which boy
C) a noun phrase telling where to find the boy
D) an independent clause that modifies that boy
in the fourth row is underlined.
The correct answer you are looking for is... B) a prepositional phrase telling which boy. An dependent clause is a 'sentence' that relies on other information in order to make sense on its own. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence (complete thought) without having to add any additional information.
