question 10 of 28
which group of words is an independent clause?
a. i looked it up
b. someone in this class
c. whenever you get here
d. if he wants to go

Explanation:

An independent clause is a complete sentence that has a subject, a verb, and expresses a full thought.

• Option A has a subject ("I"), a verb phrase ("looked it up"), and conveys a complete idea.
• Option B is a noun phrase, lacking a verb and a complete thought.
• Options C and D are dependent clauses (they start with subordinating conjunctions "Whenever" and "If" and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence).

Answer:

A. I looked it up
