Identify the sentence in which the independent clause comes at end a. after the crew picked up the trash, they took a well-deserved break. b. on halloween, everyone gets a handfull of candy even if they are grownups. c. my father was changing the flat tire ehen the police car pulled up. d. the fisherman dropped hus lure into the pool, where many huge trout lived.

Choice A would be my best guess.

A. After the crew picked up the trash, they took a well-deserved break.

Explanation:

A clause is a group of related words with at least a subject and a verb. An independent clause, in contrast to a dependent clause, always expresses a complete thought on its own and can be alone alone as a full sentence.

Sentence A is made up of a dependent clause: After the crew picked up the trash (this clause does not make much sense by itself), and an independent clause at the end: they took a well-deserved break, which does express a complete idea on its own, and thus, could stand alone as a full sentence with no problems.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
