The independent clause would be #4. An independent clause is an entire sentence where as a dependent clause is a fragment. #4 also makes the most sense.

The correct answer is 4. After the conversation with her publisher, she decided to write an autobiography

Explanation:

In grammar, an independent clause refers to a sentence usually composed of a subject, a verb and in some cases a complement that expresses a complete idea and does not need another sentence to be complete. On the other hand, a dependent clause is one that requires from an independent sentence to have a complete meaning because it lacks a subject or verb or contains subordinating conjunction such as after, because, when, if, then, while or although that creates a subordinating relation between the sentence.

In the case of the sentence "After the conversation with her publisher, when she decided to write an autobiography" both of the clauses that composed these sentences are dependent as the first clause contains a subordinating conjunction "after" and does not contain a verb or clear subject and the second clause contains the word "when" which subordinates the clause, this makes the sentence incorrect as two dependent clauses cannot stand without an independent clause. Considering this to change the dependent clause into an independent clause the best option is to omit the subordinating conjunction of the second clause which will make it an independent clause and the sentence would not be incorrect. Therefore the best revision is "After the conversation with her publisher, she decided to write an autobiography".

prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him? "what's the use? it makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
