The statement that is not true of independent clauses is:

**"An independent clause is a group of words without a verb."**

Independent clauses must contain a verb; therefore, this statement is false. The other statements are true:
- An independent clause expresses a complete thought.
- An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate.
- A simple sentence is indeed an independent clause.
