Question

She is very fit because she eats healthy food.
Select one:
a. Any of these
b. Independent clause
c. none
d. Dependent clause​

Answer 1

The clause 'because she eats healthy food' is a dependent clause.

It is connected with the independent clause 'She is very fit' to give it a complete meaning.

• Dependent clauses are ones which convey incomplete thoughts and is an incomplete sentence.

Example: When I started doing the work.

• Independent clauses are ones that contain a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought.

Example: I brought a book for you.

• In this case, a dependent clause and independent clause together form a compound sentence( as it has been joined using a conjunction- because).

Answer 2

The question clarity is missing. However, the sentence is a complex sentence consisting of a Main clause (Independent Clause) and a Subordinate Clause (Dependent Clause)

She is very fit (Independent clause) because she eats healthy food (Dependent clause)

If the underlined part is 'She is very fit', the answer is Option B.

If the underlined part is 'because she eats healthy food', the answer is Option D. Dependent clause.

Explanation

A complex sentence has one independent and one or more dependent clauses. The clauses in a complex sentence can be in any order. If the dependent clause is first, a comma is usually after it.
