Answer 10

I'm thinking it's C, but unsure.

Answer 11

Pretty sure it's D. C looks like a prepositional phrase since it lacks a verb and D has a subject and a verb.

Answer 12

B is independent. They underlined the whole damn sentence lol.

Answer 13

Actually just learned about these in Latin, but whoever is a relative pronoun. Dependent clauses can start with this. In the first sentence, the first part would be the dependent clause and the second part, the independent.

Answer 14

The most simple way to think of it is that a dependent clause relies on the independent to make sense, but the independent can run it's own show.
