Question

Mary loved making cookies for the fundraiser because she made an extra batch for herself.

Select the independent clause from the sentence.

because she made an extra batch for herself
making cookies for the fundraiser
Mary loved making cookies for the fundraiser
Mary loved making cookies

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation: This is the largest one that is still understandable by itself as a complete sentence.

D is also an independent clause, but I assume the answer is C because D leaves out "for the fundraiser."
