The correct response is:
**A dependent clause cannot stand alone in a sentence, but a phrase can.**
However, please note that this statement is actually incorrect. The accurate distinction is that a dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, while a phrase also cannot stand alone because it does not contain a subject-verb combination. Therefore, the accurate understanding should be that both dependent clauses and phrases cannot stand alone as complete sentences, but dependent clauses contain a subject and a verb, while phrases do not necessarily include both.
