Nominalization or nouning is the transformation of verbs into nouns. Most times, such a transformation will require some alteration or other to be made, mostly through the use of suffixes, which changes the ending of the original word. However, there are nominalizations that require no change at all, the difference between verb and noun being revealed through context.
Some common suffixes for nominalization are -ation, -ance, and -ment.
Having that in mind, let's change the verbs given in the question into nouns:
1. to act - action
2. to fail - failure
3. to permit - permission
4. to lose - loss
5. to think - thought/thinking
One of Wiesel's concerns in Night is the way that exposure to inhuman cruelty can deprive even victims of their sense of morality and humanity. The first hint of this dehumanized behavior on the part of the Jewish prisoners comes when some of the deportees, in the contraints of the cattle car, lose their modesty and sense of sexual, inhibition. Wiesel suggests that one of the great psychological and moral tragedies of the Holocaust is not just the death of faith in God but also the death in faith in humankind.<span>

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.
In one to two sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence.
Answer: dependent clause
Explanation:
A phrase refers to a combination of words that don´t have a subject-verb component and are used as a single part of speech.
An independent clause is a simple sentence that can stand alone, as it has a subject and a verb. It can also be accompanied by other clauses or phrases in a complex sentence.
In this example, "Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause that is followed by an independent clause to form the complete complex sentence. A dependent clause requires an independent clause to complete a sentence because it cannot stand on its own. Such is the case of the bold words in this example.
