Read the paragraph.
Abel
[1] When Nicki woke up, it was still dark outside. [2] Although she was tired, she stumbled out of bed, brushed her
teeth, and put on her running clothes. [3] When she went into the kitchen, she saw that her mom had left her favorite
water bottle on the counter. [4] As she had done every day for the past month, she opened the front door, stepped
onto the pavement, and began her morning ritual.
Which of the following best describes this paragraph?
Each sentence begins with the subject.
Each sentence begins with a dependent clause.
Each sentence begins with the predicate.
Each sentence begins with an independent clause.

Each sentence begins with a dependent clause.

Explanation:

A dependent clause is a part of a sentence that cannot stand on it's own. The first sentence is "when Nicki woke up comma." The comma (,) separates the first part of the sentence from the second part. If you make a sentence called "When Nicki woke up," it doesn't make sense. What did she do when she woke up? We don't know. The second sentence is "although she was tired comma." This is also a dependent clause. This would not work on it's own as a sentence, unless you add the second part, "she stumbled out of bed, brushed her teeth, and put on her running clothes. This works for every sentence in the paragraph.

  is an external conflict between the character and an animal or a force of nature, like a tornado,a storm or even a rain. a great example of this is ernest hemingway´s "the old man and the sea"   in which the main character struggle with a marlin when he was fishing.

  in this case the conflict is internal, the character must overcome her or his own nature or make a choice between two paths.
