Which of the following is an example of a dependent clause?

As long as it rains
Going to the park
Thomas and Alex
She smiled at me

The correct answer is: As long as it rains

The main difference between dependent and independent clauses is that dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a complete sentence, while independent clauses can. In this question, options B, C, and D are all independent clauses because they can be complete sentences on their own. Only option A, "As long as it rains," cannot fully express a complete thought and depends on another clause to make sense.
