Rudeness is, without a doubt, something that irritates me tremendously. Each time I witness someone tossing a candy wrapper on the ground, the urge to initiate a citizen's arrest for littering surges within me; when a driver cuts me off, I'd like there to be a cop around to apprehend them; and whenever I get an email lacking a proper greeting or sign-off, I fantasize about bombarding the sender with enough spam to fry their inbox! You might see it as harsh, but to misquote Shakespeare: 'To be cruel is to be kind.' Clearly, punishment needs to fit the offense; it’s the only approach that can alter these individuals’ behavior. Therefore, just before you decide to toss your snack wrappers, merge into oncoming traffic, or hit send, take a moment to reflect on the timeless wisdom: manners maketh man.

Leya [7781]

Response:

Dependent/subordinate clause

Clarification:

Dependent or subordinate clauses cannot stand alone and need to be linked to an independent clause to have meaning. Moreover, they typically start with a subordinate conjunction, such as since, because, after and even though.

The alternative choices are incorrect because main and independent clauses convey a complete idea, and there is no gerund present to create a gerund phrase.
