Answer:

D. This sentence includes two independent clauses.

Step-by-step explanation:

» Concepts

An independent clause is a statement that can function, on its own, as a sentence. Meanwhile, a dependent clause cannot stand alone as its own sentence.

Example of IC: I drank water. (complete sentence)

Example of DC: Drank water. (missing the subject)

» Application

We are asked to identify if there are independent clause(s) or dependent clauses in the sentence "I know this movie is good, for I have seen it three times." It's also important to know that this sentence is a compound sentence. Compound sentences always have two independent clauses linked by a subordinate conjunction, which in this case is 'for.'

  • The ICs in this sentence are 'I know this movie is good' and 'I have seen it three times'
