d???

anonymous · Answer

It's not D because "In late fall," is an introductory dependent clause, and "Snow and ice cover the roads," is an independent clause.

anonymous · Answer

A dependent clause and an independent clause make a complex sentence.

anonymous · Answer

It can't be A because the first half "Snow covers the roads," is an independent clause, and the second half, "and ice is dangerous in late fall," is an independent clause.

anonymous · Answer

An independent clause + an independent clause = a compound sentence.

i m so confused

anonymous · Answer

Sorry. Okay, let's start from the beginning, an independent clause is a sentence (or part of a sentence) that can stand alone and will still make sense.

on

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

It has a subject and a verb. Below I have an example.

"Snow and ice cover the roads," 

 Let's check off three things:

1. Does it have a subject? 
Mhmm, "Snow and ice"

2. Does it have a verb?
"cover" 

3. Does it make sense?
Yep, "snow and ice cover the roads." There's no confusion here.

so its c

anonymous · Answer

A dependent clause, on the other hand, is a piece of a sentence that doesn't make sense when it's alone. See below.

"In late fall,"

1. Does it have a subject? 
Not really. I can't tell. 

2. Does it have a verb?
Not at all. 

3. Does it make sense?
I have no idea where this sentence is going

So since it's not an independent clause (it failed the test), it's a dependent clause.

anonymous · Answer

To be honest, I'm stuck between B and C.

anonymous · Answer

I hate the way both are structured.

anonymous · Answer

However, I think that Cis the safest choice because B has dependent clauses.
