Complete question is;

Read the excerpt. After a strenuous climb, the hikers decided to make camp before reaching the summit because night was approaching rapidly. Which statement most accurately describes this excerpt?

A) It contains one dependent clause.

B) It contains one independent clause. C) It contains one independent clause and one dependent clause.

D) It contains one independent clause and two dependent clauses

Explanation:

A dependent clause is not a complete sentence as it can't stand on its own.

Now, the first statement in the question contains: "After a strenuous climb". Now, this statement has 1 dependent clause because "after a strenuous climb" alone can't make up a sentence. Likewise, "because night was approaching rapidly" is also a dependent clause because it can't stand on its own.

Lastly, there is an independent clause in the statement where it said "the hikers decided to make camp before reaching the summit". This is an independent clause because it can stand on its own.

Thus, in conclusion, we have one independent clause and 2 dependent clauses.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
