Question
- \silence is golden when you cant think of a good answer.\ - muhammad ali in this famous quote, which choice best describes the second part of the sentence \when you cant think of a good answer\?
compound sentence \t\t\t dependent clause
simple sentence \t\t\t complex sentence
independent clause
A dependent clause (also called a subordinate clause) cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a full thought. The phrase "when you can't think of a good answer" relies on the main clause "Silence is golden" to make logical sense, as it only provides a condition and not a complete statement. In contrast, independent clauses, simple, compound, and complex sentences all express complete thoughts (or are made of complete thoughts).
