Do you believe that this sentence could be used by itself, or does it need further explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it would be A, I think it could be used as a sentence, yes.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well let's think about this. "Once you finish your homework" What will happen once you finish your homework? That part is not included, therefore, it is not a complete sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be B?

Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate? While the baby takes a nap, we will speak quietly. A. subordinate B. independent Im thinking B because you could be like (A and B are people in this EX) A: Please show your presentation B: We will speak quietly A: Ok then.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Wait. What's the underlined clause? And telling if it's a complete sentence is simple. All you have to do is think to yourself "Does this make sense? Do I need to explain it?" If the answers to those questions are yes and no, then it's a complete sentence.

we will speak quietly. and ok

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Yes, it is independent. You could use this sentence by itself.
