The answer is: ________________________________________________ [D]: "The chef chopped the carrots standing at the counter."_________________________________________________________The confusing issue is whether:

1) Was the chef standing at the counter WHILE s/he chopped the carrots? ;
__________________________________________________________
or:
__________________________________________________________
2) Did the chef chop the carrots that happened to be at the counter (as opposed to some other carrots that were elsewhere)? . ___________________________________________________________
Roses are red violets are blue where did they come from I don’t know because I don’t want them. That all I can think of lol
It would be a subordinate cause, for it can't stand on its own. Think about it: Since early this morning. What happened since early morning? Since it doesn't provide that information, it wouldn't be able to be an independent cause.
Also, I don't believe that the sentence is grammatically correct :)
