In the following sentence, which is the dependent clause?

Sofia won't be able to compete in the race because she wrecked her car.

  1. because she wrecked her car
  2. compete in the race
  3. Sofia won't be able to compete in the race
  4. her car

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb or verb phrase. An independent clause expresses a complete thought while a dependent clause does not.
Dependent clauses begin with words like: after, although, because, before, if, since, that, until, what, when, where, who, which, and why.
The dependent clause, "because she wrecked her car," contains the subject "she" and the verb "wrecked." It does not express a complete thought.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The word “Pike” is a noun since it is a place. The words “was” and “met” are verbs. The word “who” is a pronoun.
