Question

Which of the following is an independent

clause?
My uncle, a supporter of local stores
When my uncle shops locally
My uncle chooses to shop locally
When my supportive, conscientious uncle

Answer 1

"My uncle chooses to shop locally"

Step-by-step explanation:

If something is independent, then it can be by itself. If you are independent, you don't need a lot of help from others. Same thing with independent clauses. Independent clauses can stand alone as a full sentence. "My uncle chooses to shop locally" tells us everything so it is a full sentence. My uncle is the subject, and the predicate is "chooses to shop locally" That tells us what he's doing. It is a full sentence with all the needed information.
