Question

Which sentence has a dependent clause?

a. You passed the exams, so you can go now.
b. She painted the shutters, and he put them on the house.
c. They told me the secret, but I did not share it with anyone.
d. Before he went to sleep, he completed his homework.
e. I completed my homework, and I ate dinner.

Answer 1

D. "Before he went to sleep" is a dependent clause.

Answer 2

d. Before he went to sleep, he completed his homework.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dependent clause is a group of related words that have at least a subject and a verb, but that do not express a complete thought or idea, and therefore, it can not stand alone as a full sentence. Sentence D is the sentence that has a dependent clause, which is Before he went to sleep. This latter has a subject (he) and a verb (went) and it does not express a complete idea on its own.
