that is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1. whenever I go to the movies

2. Samir lives on Green Street.

4. but it's likely to rain that day

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of clauses - independent ones and dependent ones. Independent clauses can stand on their own - like sentences 2 and 3 in the example above. Dependent clauses, on the other hand, cannot - they need to be part of a larger sentence - like sentence 1 in the example above.

Example 3 is not a clause since it doesn't have a predicate - the word tearing is a participle, not a verb. Example 5 is also not a clause because there is no verb whatsoever so it cannot be a clause - in fact, it is a phrase.
