A clause is any group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate.
Which of the following statements about clauses is false?
a) An independent clause, or main clause, makes a complete statement and can stand
alone as a sentence.
b) Both an independent clause and a subordinate clause, when standing alone, are
followed by a period to end the sentence.
c) A subordinate clause either preceding an independent clause or following it creates
what is called a complex sentence.
d) A subordinate clause can be used as an adjective, modifying or describing--
supporting--the idea of the independent clause it modifies.
e) A subordinate or dependent clause is a clause that begins with a subordinate
conjunction or, occasionally, a preposition, which makes the clause dependent.

b) Both an independent clause and a subordinate clause, when standing alone, are

followed by a period to end the sentence.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and predicate but can make complete sense on their own.

EXAMPLE of an independent clause is "He opened the door"

EXAMPLE of a dependent clause is "when he heard the knock"

"He opened the door" can stand on its own and make perfect sense and can be ended with a period.

"when he heard the knock" is dependent and isn't usually ended with a period when standing alone.

Putting the clauses together, we have, "He opened the door when he heard the knock. " and this is a complex sentence.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
