Which of the following examples would be classified as a dependent clause?

B. the mile-wide black tornado roared
C. while the people of the town took cover
D. to wait out the destructive force's whim

Answer 1

it aint A ......................................................

Answer 2

I believe there is more than one answer to this question.
B is the only answer that is an independent clause. A, C, and D are all dependent clauses, so presumably they are all answers.
They are dependent because they cannot stand alone as a sentence without an independent clause.
Hope that helped you.
