I have to answer dependent/independent clause or neither. The next question says "because of the pictures in them." I think the answer is neither because it is a phrase. Is this right? Thanks.
This doesn't answer my question. After doing the research and reading multiple websites, I wrote this question.
I agree, Sarah. This is a phrase, not a clause, "because of the pictures in them."
Thank you, Ms. Sue.
Yes, you are correct! "Because of the pictures in them" is indeed a phrase, not a clause. A phrase is a group of words that does not have a subject and a verb, which are the essential components of a clause. In this case, "because of the pictures in them" functions as a prepositional phrase explaining the reason or cause. Therefore, you can answer "neither" for this question. Well done!
