What is the difference between a clause and a phrase? (1 point)

Question

• Clauses do not form a full sentence, while phrases do.
• Clauses do not act as adjectives, while phrases do.
• Clauses contain a preposition and its object, while phrases do not.
• Clauses include both a subject and a verb, while phrases do not.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Clauses include both a subject and a verb, while phrases do not.

Clauses can express a complete thought (independent clauses) or an incomplete thought (dependent clauses), while phrases are groups of words that do not contain both a subject and a verb and cannot stand alone as complete sentences.
