Answer:

Trevor was sleeping.

Explanation:

An independent clause in a sentence is a part of the sentence that can stand alone and still make a complete statement.

In this case we have a short sentence with a noun (Trevor) and a verb (was).

"when the doorbell rang." cannot stand on its own and is dependent on the sentence above.
