You need to study this grammar unit far more intensely.
We've already helped you with two of these sentences -- yet you still have three wrong: 1, 2, and 4.
40% is not acceptable.

1. If there were no main verb, there would be no complete sentence. "houses" is the main verb here = c
2. This is a simple sentence with a compound verb "are taking" = c
Simple sentence = one independent clause with no dependent clause.
Dependent clause = contains additional in formation but cannot stand alone
Compound verb = has an auxiliary or helping verb + another verb form, such as "are + taking"
Compound sentence = has 2 or more independent clauses
3. correct!
4. rain = noun = a / the adjectival form is rainy
5. Check the punctuation carefully. None is correct.
a. incomplete sentence "In 1976"
b. run-on sentence = where the comma is, a ; (semicolon) is required
c. run-on sentence
d. this is the closest, except for the incomplete sentence "In 1976."
