The answer to the first question is c. appositive phrase.
To identify the answer, let's break down the sentence: "(Singing loudly in the shower) is what Jessica loves to do every morning."
An appositive phrase is a phrase that renames or describes a noun in the sentence. In this case, the appositive phrase "(Singing loudly in the shower)" gives us more information about the noun "what Jessica loves to do every morning."
Now, let's move on to the second question: "(Sam and Dean were shocked to find they both enjoyed playing soccer)."
The answer is a. subordinate clause.
To determine this, we need to understand the different types of clauses. A subordinate clause, also known as a dependent clause, relies on another independent clause to form a complete sentence. In this case, "(Sam and Dean were shocked to find they both enjoyed playing soccer)" cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It is dependent on further context to make sense. Therefore, it is a subordinate clause.
