Question

more than one independent clause
at least one dependent clause
none of the above

Answer 1

one independent clause is the only answer to this question

Answer 2

Answer:

Your answer would be one independent clause.

Explanation:

A simple contains one independent clause. A simple has no dependent clauses. The difference between an independent clause and a dependent one is that the former can stand alone as a sentence as it represents a complete thought. For instance, A is an independent sentence, whereas B is a dependent one.

A) I cannot drink hot coffee

B) When you do crossfit, you should pay attention to your coach

*When you do crossfit (dependent clause which fails to stand alone as it does not represent a complete idea)
