Question

Which of the following is a dependent clause?

a. who had seen the tornado himself
b. like a shiny new toy
c. the city's population had grown steadily
d. the new semester would start

Answer 1

C. The city's population had grown steadily

Answer 2

A dependent Clause is a group of words, that have a subject and a verb, but cannot stand alone in a sentence. So, "who had seen the tornado himself" seems most logical to me because they state subject and verb, and cannot stand alone.
