multiple-choice question
in the sentence \although our tent was zipped up, the
sound of hyenas in the distance still frightened us,\
what type of clause is \although our tent was zipped
up\?
dependent clause.
simple clause
compound clause
independent clause

Explanation:

Para determinar el tipo de cláusula, recordamos que una cláusula dependiente no puede funcionar como oración completa y suele ser introducida por una conjunción subordinante (como "Although"). En la frase "Although our tent was zipped up", "Although" es una conjunción subordinante y la cláusula no expresa una idea completa por sí sola, por lo que es una cláusula dependiente. Las otras opciones no se ajustan: una cláusula simple es una oración completa, una compuesta combina dos independientes, y una independiente expresa una idea completa.

Answer:

A. Dependent clause
