Answer 2

"An independent clause (or main clause) is a clause that can stand by itself as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate and makes sense by itself."

A noun clause is a dependent clause that can be used in the same way as a noun or pronoun. It can be a subject, predicate nominative, direct object, appositive, indirect object, or object of the preposition.

An adverb clause is a group of words that is used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a clause, another adverb, or any other type of word or phrase with the exception of determiners and adjectives that directly modify nouns.

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adjective in the sentence. Adjective clauses can also be called relative clauses. An adjective clause begins with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb. Often the relative pronoun or relative adverb will function as thesubject of the clause.

Answer 3

Also what is underlined?

Answer 4

"which are pounded by waves constantly"

Answer 5

So B?

Answer 6

Okay. By it self that would be a sentence fragment. (a sentence that is missing a subject or a predicate) So we know that it isn't a independent clause since those can go by them self and be a full functioning sentence.

Answer 7

I don't think that it is B. since that sentence really doesn't function as a adjective.

Answer 8

Ohhh is it D?

Answer 9

Yes it is D. because adverb clauses answer the questions How? When? Where? or Why?
