Question

Which identifies and explains the PRIMARY function of the underlined words?

That boy in the fourth row is Bella's cousin.
A) a dependent clause that modifies Bella
B) a prepositional phrase telling which boy
C) a noun phrase telling where to find the boy
D) an independent clause that modifies that boy
in the fourth row is underlined.

Answer 1

The correct answer you are looking for is... B) a prepositional phrase telling which boy.
An dependent clause is a 'sentence' that relies on other information in order to make sense on its own.
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence (complete thought) without having to add any additional information.
