With the sentences provided, the following can be classified.

Independent Clause:

"The lion gave up in exasperation since he could not get near the calf".

Dependent Clause:

"The herd was on high alert while the lion remained".

" Although the heard was nervous it did not run away:.

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent clause holds a subject and a verb, along with holding a complete thought in the sentence. It conveys a complete message.

A dependent clause also holds a subject and a verb but does not convey a complete thought, hence becomes an incomplete sentence. It does not convey a complete message.
