Answer 1

Answer:

c) Dependent Clause

1.) When I was in London = c) Dependent Clause

Here, the clause is 'when I was in London' , which is dependent on the main clause.

Answer 2

The clauses in the sentence "When I was in London, I visited the Buckingham Palace" is b) Dependent clause and Independent clause.

Clauses:

A sentence with conjunction contains clauses that are dependent on the main clause or sometimes not.

So first we identify the clause in the sentence by pointing the conjunction out from the sentence.

• Hence, the first clause will be "when I was in London", now we look if it depends on the other part of the sentence for complete meaning or is totally independent.
• As the conjunction 'when' is used in the clause, it clearly gives the hint that it is depending on the main clause for complete meaning.
• Thus, the first clause "When I was in London" is a dependent clause, whereas the other part or the other clause "I visited the Buckingham" is totally an "independent clause" and doesn't need any dependence on the clause for completion.
