Answer:
After I went to bed last night
Explanation:
In the sentence, there are two clauses: an independent clause: the telephone rang twice (because it expresses a complete thought) and a dependent clause: After I went to bed last night(Because it does not express a complete thought on its own).
Dependent clauses can work as adjectives, nouns, or adverbs in a sentence. An adverb clause modifies verbs, adjectives or other adverbs and they are often introduced by a coordinating conjunction such as after, before, until and because. When they are placed at the beginning of a sentence (such as in the sentence given), they begin with a coordinating conjunction and end with a comma: After I went to bed last night, the telephone rang twice.
So, in the sentence, "After I went to bed last night" is an adverb clause because it has all those characteristics, and it modifies or adds further information to the verb "rang twice", more specifically, it answers the question When?: When did the telephone ring twice? Answer: After I went to bed last night.

The answer is D: An independent clause is a sentence considered grammaticaly complete, it contains enough information to be able to stand alone. It contains a subject and a verb, so the readers can know who the sentence talks about and what action is performed. "The red, white, and blue shoes (subject) are (verb) perfect for the fourth of July celebration.
Answer:
The answer is indeed letter D) The red, white, and blue shoes are perfect for the Fourth of July celebration.
Explanation:
We were asked to find the sentence that is an independent clause. An independent clause has a subject and a predicate. It expresses a complete thought on its own. The sentence in letter D has those characteristics. It is perfectly understandable on its own, meaning it expresses a complete thought. It has a subject - "The red, white, and blue shoes" - and a predicate - "are perfect for the Fourth of July celebration."
Letter A is a sentence composed of two independent clauses connected by a semicolon. Letter B is a conditional clause, which means the clause with "if" is subordinate (dependent) to the main clause. Letter C has a conditional clause and two independent clauses. Thus, the one that best answers the question is letter D, since the whole sentence is an independent clause.
