A biography is an account of someone’s life written by someone else. Sonia Nazario wrote this true story about Enrique who tries to reach his mother in the United States by fleeing from Honduras.

"About two hundred street gangsters in Chiapas share the rolling criminal enterprise. Father Flor María Rigoni, the priest at the Albergue Belén migrant shelter, counts nineteen groups."
"'We ask for money to take people to the U.S. on top of our trains,' says Jorge Mauricio Mendoza Pineda, twenty-four, describing what he and his Mara Salvatrucha gang do in Chiapas."
The answer is: complete sentence.
This is an independent sentence, which means it is a group of words that that has a complete thought. It has a subject and a verb and it can stand on its own. <em>Subject</em>: The balance. <em>Verb</em>: includes. <em>Complement:</em> both the fees for service and the shipping charges. A phrase that has a subject and a verb but doesn't have a complete thought is a <em>dependent clause, and it can't stand on its own.</em>
