Question

Determine the type of clause for the bold words:

Ken's cake did not turn out well because he added salt instead of sugar to the recipe.
O Independent clause
O Dependent/Subordinate clause.

Answer 1

The bold words in the sentence form a dependent/subordinate clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bold words, 'because he added salt instead of sugar to the recipe,' form a dependent/subordinate clause. This type of clause does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence. It is dependent on the main clause, 'Ken's cake did not turn out well.'
