Your answers are mostly correct, but there is one error. The correct answers are:
1. A. Phrase fragment
2. C. Adjective clause
3. D. Subordinate clause
4. C. Adjective clause
Explanation:
1. This is a phrase fragment because "Forgetting her homework and her books" does not form a complete sentence. It is missing a subject and a verb.
2. The underlined phrase "which was a Category 3 hurricane" modifies the noun "storm" and provides additional information about it. This is an adjective clause because it functions as an adjective by describing the noun.
3. "(The dog ate the shoe)" is a complete sentence or an independent clause. However, "that was lying on the closet floor" is a subordinate clause because it depends on the main clause to make complete sense.
4. Similarly, "The book is overdue from the library" is a complete sentence or an independent clause. "that she is reading" is an adjective clause that provides additional information about the book.
