Answer:
the first option
Explanation:
independent is something you can change OR determine
dependent is something that will happen BECAUSE of the independent and you can not change it
in this case- the sentence states that " the amount of time that the venue has been reserved for DETERMINES how many bands will play"
You can change or schedule how long you want to reserve the venue but how many bands that will play depends on the independent variable (t)
Thats why it say determines, because (t) determines or changes (b)
