The independant clause mean the simple subject which says that you can read a part of a sentence that makes a lot of sense. So in this sentence "Since you are writing a poem, how will you use metaphors?"
The dependent clause is the one that makes no sense while being alone.
In this sentence the dependent clause is Since you are writing a poem.
It makes no sense all alone in one sentence.
Now for the actual question answer is the independent clause.
The independent clause is how will you use metaphors?
I think that is the independent clause because it really makes sense even though it's a part of the question.
First, you need to know what a gerund is. It refers to a word form that looks like a verb + ing. So here, the gerund phrase is <em>walking in the deep snow. </em>Also, you need to know that gerund is practically a noun in a sentence, meaning that it can function as either a subject or an object of a sentence. Here, the correct answer is the subject.
If you are unsure, you can replace the phrase with a pronoun He, for example: He made me feel... And you will know it is a subject, because the object would be Him.
5 nouns, She, pencils, paper, books, her.
