To identify a dependent clause, we need to understand what it is. A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on an independent clause to form a complete thought.
Now, let's analyze the given options:
A. "She smiled as she opened the package." - This sentence includes two independent clauses ("She smiled" and "she opened the package") connected by the conjunction "as." It does not contain a dependent clause.
B. "The package was heavy." - This sentence consists of a single independent clause, so it does not contain a dependent clause.
C. "Today is her 16th birthday." - This sentence, like option B, only contains an independent clause and does not have a dependent clause.
D. "It was a fancy hat!" - This sentence, on the other hand, includes a dependent clause. The word "It" functions as the subject, "was" is the verb, and "a fancy hat" is the dependent clause. The dependent clause, "a fancy hat," cannot form a complete sentence on its own and relies on the main subject-verb combination in the independent clause "It was."
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "It was a fancy hat!"
