B I think! Hope this helps
<span>Peter's fidgeting with his pen-knife and Clarissa's use of her scissors during the conversation symbolize that they both have some aggression towards each other and their default way to converse is defensive.
</span><span>The description of Peter's thoughts suggests that he disapproves of Clarissa's lifestyle. --It is clear that Peter does not think Clarissa is doing anything worthwhile, and is judging her actions harshly compared to thinking of himself and his accomplishments very highly. </span>
I think the best word would be Helpless
B, because it has multiple subjects and verbs, and more than 1 clause.

No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.
Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).
