Bot answer my question please
The bold words "arrives at work" and "puts his lunch box in the fridge" represent independent clauses.
To determine the grammatical element represented by the bold words, we can analyze the structure of the sentence. In this case, the sentence is: "When Shawn arrives at work, he puts his lunch box in the fridge."
First, let's identify each clause in the sentence:
- "When Shawn arrives at work" is a dependent clause because it doesn't express a complete thought on its own.
- "he puts his lunch box in the fridge" is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete thought.
Based on this analysis, the bold words represent the independent clause, making the correct answer "independent clause."
