Answer:
False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given statement asserts a false claim. However, it exemplifies a dependent clause as it contains a subject 'the commercial' and a verb 'was' but conveys an incomplete thought yet the given reasoning is inadequate stating that 'it is a complete thought.' It is a dependent clause and requires an independent clause to accomplish the thought and form the complete complex sentence. Thus, the given assertion would be characterized as false.
