After a half an hour of going through the list of pros and cons she had written, she called Tina and told her that although she truly did want to go to the show with them, she thought that her family should always come before friends. Tina completely understood and when Jess heard the news, she was disappointed but came to terms with Lexie's decision. As soon as Lexie arrived at the spelling bee competition, her brother's face lit up with pure happiness and joy when he noticed that Lexie was there with their parents. <em>This was the right decision.</em> Lexie thought while she cheered on her brother. At the end of the championship, her brother won and they all went out to celebrate.

The term <em>clause</em><em> </em>refers to a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.
In order to find the correct answer, we need to look for a subject and a predicate within the underlined groups of words.
In the first example, the predicate is missing.
In the second, it's the subject that is missing.
In the third example, neither the subject nor the predicate is underlined.
In the fourth example, they are both present. <em>I</em> is the subject, and <em>sat</em> is the predicate. That's why the fourth sentence is the correct answer.
