Answer: Jim likes to go to the beach
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is 2. ''Jim likes to go to the beach alone.'' because it is expressing a complete thought. An Independent clause is considering a full sentence with a verb and a subject and that kind of expressed thought can stand alone in the sentence.
Answers 1. and 3. are incorrect because they are not considered as Independent clauses, they are considered as the Depended clause. They cannot stand alone in the sentence since they are not expressing a complete thought.
