Answer 1

C. A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not.

In Grammar, a clause is a set of words (that are related to each other) that contains a subject and its corresponding verb. A clause by itself is a group of words, that express a complete idea. Clauses usually are short, simple sentences. Whereas a phrase doesn't have both a subject and a verb. Hence, clauses are a group of words, that could state ideas independently, as separate sentences having a subject and predicate.

Answer 2

C. A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phrases and clauses are the two important parts of the sentences. A clause is the part of the sentence which includes a subject and a verb. On the other hand, a phrase is the part of the sentence which does not include a subject and a verb. The meaning of the clause is complete while the phrase does not stand alone or give complete meaning. A phrase complements the structure of the sentence. Both the clause and the phrase exists in the same line.
