Which of the following is an independent clause?
My uncle, a supporter of local stores
When my uncle shops locally
My uncle chooses to shop locally
When my supportive, conscientious uncle

"My uncle chooses to shop locally"

Explanation:

If something is independent, then it can be by itself. If you are independent, you don't need a lot of help from others. Same thing with independent clauses. Independent clauses can stand alone as a full sentence. "My uncle chooses to shop locally" tells us everything so it is a full sentence. My uncle is the subject, and the predicate is "chooses to shop locally" That tells us what he's doing. It is a full sentence with all the needed information.

just took the test;

argument: "it's time to wage a war against britain to secure american freedom."

claims: "america has tried every peaceful method available for seperating from england" & "the americans' petitions to the king have been turned away by him."
