The correct response is:
**A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not.**
This accurately describes the key difference between a clause and a phrase: clauses can stand alone as sentences or form part of a sentence and contain both a subject and a predicate, while phrases do not have both a subject and a verb and cannot stand alone.
