Answer:

The correct answer is C) C. After we stuffed ourselves, we went to the bowling alley.

Explanation:

In the English language, a dependent clause is a sentence that cannot stand alone on itself. There has to be more information linked to it, for the sentence to make sense.

Furthermore, there are three types of dependent clauses, noun clauses, adjective clauses and adverbial clauses.

In the examples given, all sentence make sense and can stand alone, while option C is the only one which won't make sense if the sentence was not completed.

OlanmaE

A dependent clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb but does not make complete meaning on its own. The dependent clause in the list is;

  • C. After we stuffed ourselves, we went to the bowling alley.

As seen in the chosen option, there is a subject and a verb. However, there is no meaning if the first part of the sentence was to be left alone.

Therefore, the independent clause is;

After we stuffed ourselves

Another clause is required to complete the meaning of this clause.
