Hi welcome to Openstudy @novaaaa :)

Independent clauses are clauses that can stand on their own. Subject-VErb-object is present in that sentence. From your choices which clause sounds complete? That will be the right choice.

Answer 4

Choice C is out: " \(\sf \color{red}{\text{until they}}\) became charcoal "
THis clause is incomplete so this is NOT the right answer

Answer 5

Back to your question, as I've said before Independent Clauses are clauses that can stand alone as a sentence. Now, read all the choices out loud and tell me which one sounds like a complete sentence.

Answer 7

The forest once held flowers. I say B. It has it can stand along and it sounds right.
