Yes, you can use the Single filing status and claim a dependent. Your dependent can be either a Qualifying Child or a Qualifying Relative.
It is not mandatory that you use the Head of Household filing status if you are claiming a dependent on your return. That is just one option that is available to taxpayers who are claiming a qualifying dependent and meet the other requirements to use that filing status.
