Question

11. Which of the following sentences is correct? A. A clause is a group of related words, but a phrase is not. B. A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not. C. A phrase has a subject and verb, but a clause does not. D. A phrase is a group of related words, but a clause is not.

Answer 1

Phrases act like parts of speech (nouns, adverbs, adjectives), but they do not have both a subject and verb, which means phrases cannot be sentences.

Clauses do have a subject and a verb and can sometimes be sentences on their own.

Based on this, the correct options is B - a clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not.
