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.

The witches told him and Banquo that Banquo's descendants would become kings. Macbeth has called two murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance to prevent what the witches told would happen. He says these words because he realizes that all he has done is for Banquo's seeds to be kings.
