The correct answer is: "a part of a sentence that can stand alone."
The correct answer is: a part of a sentence that can stand alone.
To identify an independent clause, you need to look for a part of a sentence that can express a complete thought and could stand alone as a separate sentence if necessary. An independent clause typically contains a subject and a predicate (verb) and can function as a complete sentence on its own. It is important to note that an independent clause does not need to be a complete sentence when used within a larger sentence structure, but it has the potential to be a complete sentence if separated from the rest.
