The answer is D:  An independent clause is a sentence considered grammaticaly complete, it contains enough information to be able to stand alone. It contains a subject and a verb, so the readers can know who the sentence talks about and what action is performed. "The red, white, and blue shoes (subject) are (verb) perfect for the fourth of July celebration.  

The answer is indeed letter D) The red, white, and blue shoes are perfect for the Fourth of July celebration.

Explanation:

We were asked to find the sentence that is an independent clause. An independent clause has a subject and a predicate. It expresses a complete thought on its own. The sentence in letter D has those characteristics. It is perfectly understandable on its own, meaning it expresses a complete thought. It has a subject - "The red, white, and blue shoes" - and a predicate - "are perfect for the Fourth of July celebration."

Letter A is a sentence composed of two independent clauses connected by a semicolon. Letter B is a conditional clause, which means the clause with "if" is subordinate (dependent) to the main clause. Letter C has a conditional clause and two independent clauses. Thus, the one that best answers the question is letter D, since the whole sentence is an independent clause.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
