Question

which option means \a group of words that has a subject and a predicate and is a complete sentence?\ (1 point)
independent clause
prepositional phrase
dependent clause
noun phrase

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Independent clause: A group of words with a subject and predicate, and it can stand alone as a complete sentence.
• Prepositional phrase: Consists of a preposition and its object, lacks a subject - predicate structure and isn't a complete sentence.
• Dependent clause: Has a subject and predicate but can't stand alone as a complete sentence (depends on another clause).
• Noun phrase: Functions as a noun, lacks a predicate and isn't a complete sentence.

So the option that matches the description is "independent clause".

Answer:

A. independent clause
