Which section of this passage is an example of an independent clause? The last day of school is always an amazing day for my friends and me. First, we eat at our favorite pizza restaurant. Then, after we've stuffed ourselves, we go to the bowling alley. After bowling a couple of games, we head to the movies for the latest horror movie. If we still have time left, we head back to the pizza place for more food.

A. for the latest horror movie

B. if we still have time left

C. After bowling a couple of games.

D we head to the movies

The correct answer is letter D. We had to the movies

Explanation:

Before I start to explain about my answer, I am going to explain what means "Independent clause" and how you can use it in a sentence. So, firstly, "Independent Clause" is a sentence that you needn't a complement to continue or to understand the whole sentence, like a preposition, a conjuction, and adverb, adjective, etc. In this case, this phrase explain by itself, without a complement.

We have in a "Independent clause" a subject and a predicate. The predicate of a sentence is the part that modifies the subject in some way, whatever sort of subject you have: person, place, or thing. That's because I answered this question with letter D "We head to the movies", because this sentence is complete and answer by itself without using another grammatical way to have the understanding of all contents.

D we head to the movies

Explanation:

An independent clause has a subject and a verb, and it is a complete thought. The answer has the subject, we, and the verb, head. It is a complete thought by itself. Option A does not have a subject or verb since it is a prepositional phrase. Option B has a subject and verb, but the conjunction "if" creates an incomplete thought and makes it a dependent clause. Option C does not have a subject.
