Question

Select the sentence combining two independent clauses.

Yes, we will attend the meeting.
Carol, wanting to become better acquainted, invited the girls home.
The water is cold, but the sand is warm.
Dry and warm, the puppy slept all night.

Answer 1

The water is cold, but the sand is warm.

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent clause is one that can stand alone in a sentence because it makes complete meaning by itself. This means that it does not another support from another sentence to be clearly understood by the reader. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate. Among the options listed above, the third sentence can be identified as having two independent clauses. They are;

1. The water is cold.

2. But the sand is warm.

Each of the separated sentences still expresses a complete thought.
