Question 21A poem of nearly 12,000 lines _ it tells a series of stories _ beginning with the creation of the world_Think about what punctuation you would put in the SECOND blank. Why did you choose the punctuation you chose for the SECOND blank? abecause it is an independent clause followed by an unrelated independent clause bbecause nothing should be added at the end cbecause nothing should be added between an independent clause followed by a dependent clause dbecause nothing should be added between a dependent clause followed by an independent clause ebecause it is an independent clause followed by a related independent clause fbecause it is an independent clause followed by a dependent clause gbecause it is a dependent clause followed by an independent clause hbecause it is a prepositional phrase followed by an independent clause ibecause it is the end of the sentence
Solution
The correct answer is "f" because it is an independent clause followed by a dependent clause. The phrase "beginning with the creation of the world" is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete thought. It is providing additional information to the independent clause "it tells a series of stories". Therefore, no punctuation is needed in the second blank as the dependent clause is directly related to the independent clause.
