Answer 2

Answer: D) Without our hard work, the task would never have gotten done.

Explanation: An independent clause is a sentence that has complete meaning on its own. A dependent clause is a sentence that has a subject and a predicate, but it doesn't have complete meaning by itself (it depends on the independent clause). From the given options, the sentence in which the independent clause is joined by a dependent clause that helps the sentence to make sense, is the corresponding to option D, where the independent clause is "the task would never have gotten done" and the dependent clause is "without our hard work."
