It contains one independent clause and two dependent clauses.

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

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.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
