    The first clause is a dependent clause. That is because it makes little sense if used on its own, while other clauses can stand on their own and make sense.

    The correct answer is - D uring intermission, while we were discussing the performance.

    A dependent clause is one that cannot stand on its own - it has to be a part of a larger, independent sentence in order to make sense. Dependent clauses are incomplete, and therefore they need to be extended into a larger sentence. The only dependent clause among those above is sentence 1, whereas the rest are complete and therefore, independent.
