Which part of this sentence is a clause?
A. "she got soaked walking"
B. "home in the rain yesterday"
C. "because her umbrella" *** My Answer ***
D. "was in her gym locker"
Your answer, C. "because her umbrella," is not a clause. A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate (verb). It can stand alone as a complete sentence.
The correct answer is A. "she got soaked walking." This is a clause because it contains a subject ("she") and a predicate ("got soaked walking"). It can stand alone as a complete sentence, making it an independent clause.
