Explanation:

The best way for me to answer this question is this. An Independent Clause can make its own sentence, but a Dependent Clause cannot.

11. I want to be the first volunteer whenever the teacher asks for help.

12. If you stay until the birthday party is over, call Mom for a ride home.

13. When monsoon season begins, the humidity makes the air uncomfortable.

14. Pizza is Crawford's choice for dinner, but only if it has a thin crust.

15. We stopped playing and sought shelter when the storm began.

16. Gabe hopped off his skateboard so his friend could use it.

17. We won the state championship because we played together as a team.

18. Although the price of gasoline rose by 50 cents, Americans did not curb their travel plans.

19. If we fail to finish our project tonight, we will not be in Mrs. Hoopers good graces tomorrow.

If it was not already clear, the things in bold are the Independent Clauses. And the things in italic are the Dependent Clauses.
