An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence. It expresses a complete thought and contains a subject and a predicate.

In the sentence "While Darius listened to his favorite radio station, he read a sports magazine," the phrases are:
1. "While Darius listened" - This is a prepositional phrase that starts with the preposition "while" and has the subject Darius and the verb "listened."
2. "to his favorite radio station" - This is also a prepositional phrase that starts with the preposition "to" and shows the relationship between the verb "listened" and the radio station.
3. "he read" - This is an independent clause consisting of the subject pronoun "he" and the verb "read."
4. "a sports magazine" - This is a noun phrase that serves as the object of the verb "read."
The base word in the word "application" is "apply." The addition of the suffix "-ation" changes the verb "apply" into a noun form.
