If you are unsure whether a group of words is a clause<span> or </span>phrase<span>, break down the words into the parts of speech to help you decide. If there is a subject and a verb with a predicate, it is a </span>clause. If there is a noun but no verb or a verb but no noun and does not have a predicate, it is a phrase<span>. therefor it is B</span>

The correct sentence is B. A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not because a phrase is just a group of related words.  

EXPLANATION:  

A clause is divided into two types, dependent and independent:

1. Dependent clause

A dependent clause has one subject and one verb in its group of words, yet it doesn’t have a complete thought in it. A dependent clause might be a sentence of a phrase. The example of the dependent clause is, “When Ray studied English in the school…..”. This sentence has a subject and a verb but it doesn’t have a complete thought in it. “When Ray studied English in the school….. (what happened when Ray studied? The idea is not complete).

2. Independent clause

An independent clause has one subject and one verb in its group of words, and it also has a complete thought. An independent is always a sentence. The example is, “Ray studied in the school.” This sentence has a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. The idea of this sentence is complete. We know the full idea of this sentence.  

On the other hand, a phrase is a group of related words that becomes a syntax’ constituent of a sentence. Usually, a phrase occurs within a clause. Yet, it is also possible that a phrase is a clause or has a clause in it. There are three commonly used phrases: noun phrase, prepositional phrase, and participial phrase.  

A noun phrase consists of place, people, thing, or modifier such as <em>a grammar lesson.</em><em> </em>A prepositional phrase consists of preposition, noun, and pronoun such as <em>in the dark woods</em>. The participial phrase consists of verbal ending such as -ed or -ing. The example is <em>knowing what you have done.  </em>
