Which of the following sentences contains a dependent clause? a. jared eagerly climbed into the boxing ring; he was on his back and out for the count in less than ten seconds. b. the three deer kicked, leaped, and behaved like rambunctious rabbits. c. the red sports car that was parked under the tree belongs to alan. d. clear the table and wash the dishes.

To answer this question; First of all, we need to be clear of the types of existing sentences that exist such as simple sentences, compound sentences and complex compound sentences. We must also need to discriminate between dependent and independent clauses. When we read sentences A, B, and C, we can observe  that they have complete meanings.  What I mean with this is that they all contain a main subject and a verb. However, if we carefully read sentence letter C, we observe that it has a dependent clause in between  that is, a fragment that cannot stand on its own and  that’s why it needs something else in order to have a complete meaning. (THAT WAS PARKED UNDER THE TREE). Needless to say that this phrase begins with a relative pronoun.  

So the correct answer for this question is letter C.
