The independent clause would be #4. An independent clause is an entire sentence where as a dependent clause is a fragment. #4 also makes the most sense.

Answer from: colleenroyle8717

The correct answer is 4. After the conversation with her publisher, she decided to write an autobiography

Explanation:

In grammar, an independent clause refers to a sentence usually composed of a subject, a verb and in some cases a complement that expresses a complete idea and does not need another sentence to be complete. On the other hand, a dependent clause is one that requires from an independent sentence to have a complete meaning because it lacks a subject or verb or contains subordinating conjunction such as after, because, when, if, then, while or although that creates a subordinating relation between the sentence.

In the case of the sentence "After the conversation with her publisher, when she decided to write an autobiography" both of the clauses that composed these sentences are dependent as the first clause contains a subordinating conjunction "after" and does not contain a verb or clear subject and the second clause contains the word "when" which subordinates the clause, this makes the sentence incorrect as two dependent clauses cannot stand without an independent clause. Considering this to change the dependent clause into an independent clause the best option is to omit the subordinating conjunction of the second clause which will make it an independent clause and the sentence would not be incorrect. Therefore the best revision is "After the conversation with her publisher, she decided to write an autobiography".

What if the author had used “looked at” instead? punishment would be deemphasized. punishments would be seen as less harsh. the meaning wouldn't change.
