How will different independent clause and dependent clauses interpret, since they both are independent clauses are often argued differently in mathematics. But there’s way more to them.

Independent clause

In the use of in the second example you use with is the part after it is independent clause. Independent clauses of sentences are typically read separately from the rest of the sentence. If this is the second example, no one else can change the contexts. Two

items contribute to three-fifths of the overall spending around the world and the third to India. Foods: The most prominent share is food.

Where there is a comma and a period, two sentences are written separately to create the difference. How do I write complete sentences like a comma? The 2 is not merge unless the 3 are manipulable. Or did you really manipulate them or did they actually merge?

Dependent clause

In the first example you use with being that of the sem(rs), the part after the comma is a dependent clause. Dependent clauses, off the top of their logic, depend on other clauses for completion. When you read dependent clauses carefully, they flow to other clauses as well. They are not dependent clauses but dependent clauses are.

About 40% of food accounts for over half the food consumption of the world. The most significant portion is food.

In this case the dependent clause is unmistakably a part of the independent clause at the beginning — there is no question that both clauses are subject to the same subjects.


What comes down to stylistic choices, and not general aesthetics. The writer must have wanted the two clauses to flow together very smoothly. Cf. step 9. The difference between the two options is grammatically correct.

Is the grammar of the first example grammatically correct? Chapter 1, Rule 5, page 5-7, Chapter 1, Chapter 21. Chapter 17. Are independent

clauses joined together by a comma?

When two or more clauses grammatically complete and not joined by a conjunction are to form a single compound sentence, the proper mark of punctuation is a semicolon.

What is the correct use of a semicolon when writing a compound sentence?

What is the second example of four items responsible for three-fifths of the overall

  • spending in the world, and the most prominent share is food? Which example could be verified? Four items are responsible for

  • half of global spending; the most prominent share is food. This statement explains how

  • items and services account for three-fiveths of global spending. The most obvious share is food. I would also disagree

with “the most prominent share is food”. How do you compare/contrasting “share (of spending)” and “food”? What is really meant by this is that “food is responsible for the largest share (of spending)”. The first “example” avoided this problem by writing “the most prominent shares being that of food”. The first “example” avoided this problem by writing “the most prominent share being that of food”. In any event, if we are going to stick with two independent clauses in the second “example”, we have the following options:

  • Four items are responsible for three-fifths of the overall spending around the world, and food is responsible for the most prominent share.

  • Three of the four items most responsible for spending around the world, food is responsible for most prominent share.

  • Four items account for 90% of the global spending. In the US, three items are responsible for two-thirds of the overall spending. In addition, only two items are responsible for about 50% of the total spending. Food is responsible for most prominent share of population.

Given that the first “examples” are more economical than these (and has other advantages), I would use it.

I could still quebble with the last two bulleted sentences (we could do better), but I won’t.
