Question

which elements make up an independent clause? (select all that apply.) a complete thought b subject c conjunction d predicate e dependent clause

Explanation:

An independent clause must express a complete thought (A) and have a subject (B) and a predicate (D) to form a simple sentence. A conjunction (C) is used to connect clauses or words, and a dependent clause (E) cannot stand alone. So the elements of an independent clause are a complete thought, subject, and predicate.

Answer:

A. complete thought, B. subject, D. predicate
