Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.
In one to two sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence.
(2 points)
- "Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence and expresses a complete thought.
- "that her daughter baked for her" is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause to make sense. This clause provides additional information about the cookies that Jessica ate.
