Explanation:

A clause can be defined as a group of words that contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase. A clause contains a subject and a predicate and is part of a longer sentence and it can be the sentence itself.

How do we identify a clause?

Though, clauses come in four types: main, subordinate, relative, and noun.

They all have something in common. Every clause no matter its type and form has at least a subject and a verb.

In each of the group of words above, the presence of a subject and a verb makes it a clause else, it is not.

- those zebras (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no verb

- Susan waited patiently (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (Susan) and a verb (waited)

- bought a new skateboard (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no subject

- the girl in the relay race (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no verb

I swim (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (I) and a verb (swim)

because she visited (a clause).

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.

the answer is "began" because it is a action that can be done
