Answer:

Dependent

Explanation:

This event is dependent, because the probability of grabbing a second shoe depends on whether or not you've already grabbed a shoe. If you haven't grabbed a shoe yet, the probability of grabbing a second shoe is zero. If you have already grabbed a shoe, the probability of grabbing a second shoe is 1 (assuming you have at least two shoes in your closet).
