2 is now correct. Do you know which words make up the dep cl?

5 is now correct.

Look at 4 by isolating the clauses and ignoring the phrases; "Because of bad weather" is not a clause.

4)ok, it has to be compound ? But in my question I have only 2 choices either complex or compound-complex

Then there's an error in your text or test. If that first phrase had been a clause, the sentence would have been a compound-complex.

Complain to your instructor!
