    This document discusses dependent clauses and provides an example of one. It defines a dependent clause as an incomplete sentence that contains a subject and verb but cannot stand alone as a sentence. The example given is "Although the bear is able to sprint rapidly", which is a dependent clause because it is not a complete sentence on its own due to starting with the word "Although". Removing that word would make it an independent clause. The document then provides a quiz related to grammar and sentence structure.

    Although is the only thing preventing this clause from being independent.

    The bear is able to sprint rapidly.


    With the word Although removed, the clause is a complete sentence.
