The correct answer is: A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not.

The correct description for the difference between a clause and a phrase is: "A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not." A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject (which is typically a noun or pronoun) and a predicate (which includes the verb and any other necessary information). On the other hand, a phrase is a group of words that does not have both a subject and a verb. It may function as a noun, adjective, or adverb, but it does not contain a complete sentence on its own. To differentiate between a clause and a phrase, you need to identify if there is a subject and a verb present.
