Gripping the rail, "Lindsey stepped onto the ice".

A.) independent clause
B.) adjective clause
C.) adverb clause
D.) noun clause
c??

Yes, it's one of those -- A or B.

Yes, it's an independent clause. It can stand alone as a complete sentence.

I agree with it being C

Thanks

You're both wrong.

The part in quotation marks is not an adverb clause.

Can't those words stand alone?

What is an adverb clause? Is it when you have

"quickly ran" or "very blue"

Those are not clauses because they don't have subjects and verbs.

Are they phrases?

Adverb clause:

She quickly ran

Could it be A or B also thanks

Jade, you are just guessing. Consult your text materials, or just guess and see if you guess right. Ms. Sue gave you good advice. You paid no attention.
