Which sentence contains an underlined independent clause (parentheses are underlines) pls hurry a: (norman now has a job) at the high school, though he is hoping to find work with the country. b: (norman now has a job at the high school), though he is hoping to find work with the country. c: norman now has a job at the high school, (though he is hoping to find work with the country). d: norman now has a job at the hight school, though he is hoping (to find work with the country).

The sentence that contains an independent clause is option B) “Norman now has a job at the high school”.

Independent clauses have meaning by themselves and don’t need other words. They have a subject and predicate as a simple sentence.  

Option A) is not correct since the clause is incomplete; the part “at the high school” is an adverbial phrase of place that adds meaning to the independent clause.  

Option C) is incorrect as the clause “though he is hoping to find work with the country” does not have meaning by itself and needs additional information.  

Option D) is also incorrect since the phrase “to find work with the country” is a prepositional clause that modifies the verb “hope”.

The correct answer is B) “Norman now has a job at the high school”.

Hope this helped! :)
