Which of the following clauses is an independent clause?
a) while i was walking to the story
b) happily ever after
c) the baby cried
d) even though there is a tornado warning

The correct answer is C. The baby cried

Explanation:

An independent clause is a clause that has a complete meaning by itself, this implies independent clause are composed by a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete meaning without requiring any other information to be understood. On the other hand, dependent clauses are those clauses that give extra information related to an independent clause and require it to be complete, additionally, most dependent clauses are linked to dependent clauses by words such as while, because, although, even though, since, if, etc. In the case of "The baby cried" this is an independent clause as it is composed by a subject (The baby) and a predicate (Cried) also the meaning of it is complete, does not contain any word such as while, because or since that would suggest it is dependent and does not require any extra information

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
