The correct answer is a. The pianist's great talent was that he could play Rachmaninoff blindfolded.

A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb, but it is not a complete thought.  

It cannot form a separate sentence but can form a sentence when joined with a main clause.

OlanmaE

A dependent clause usually makes no meaning without the aid of an independent clause. These two sentences can be combined to include a dependent clause thus;

  • a. The pianist's great talent was that he could play Rachmaninoff blindfolded.

In the sentence above, the second part of it is indicated as a dependent clause. If someone uttered the statement;

"was that he could play Rachmaninoff blindfolded"

the listener will be left confused because the sentence makes no complete thought.

Thus, a combination of the two sentences that contains a dependent clause is sentence A.
