which sentence contains a dependent clause?
joaquin showed me how to throw a curveball.
quinton studied in the library for his physics test.
zara is moving to the city when she graduates.
i forgot about todays exam.

Explanation:

A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence and has a subject and verb. Let's analyze each option:

• "Joaquín showed me how to throw a curveball": "how to throw a curveball" is a phrase, not a clause (no subject - verb in the traditional clause sense here).
• "Quinton studied in the library for his physics test": This is an independent clause (has a subject - Quinton, verb - studied, and can stand alone).
• "Zara is moving to the city when she graduates": "when she graduates" has a subject (she) and a verb (graduates) and cannot stand alone, so it's a dependent clause.
• "I forgot about today's exam": This is an independent clause (subject - I, verb - forgot, can stand alone).

Answer:

Zara is moving to the city when she graduates.
