In which sentence are the italicized words a dependent clause? a. she became angry, but she would not leave without her brother. b. the diving board broke when she jumped into the pool. c. she wanted to leave early, or she wanted to stay overnight. d. she went swimming, and her brother went boating.

The correct answer is B. The diving board broke when she jumped into the pool.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
