I will convince my parents to let me join karate classes since it is important for self-defence.​

Answer 1

Answer:

I will convince my parents to let me join karate classes. ----- independent

It is important for self defence. ----dependent.

Explanation:

"I will convince my parents to let me join karate classes. " is independent because it can stand by itself. It has the subject " I " and makes sense by itself.

" It is important for self defense" is dependent because it does not have a subject and doesn't answer the question what (is important for self defense)
