You are right. Clauses always have a verb in them.

To determine which part of the sentence is a clause, let's review what a clause is. A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject typically contains a noun or pronoun, while the predicate contains a verb or verb phrase.

Looking at the options you provided:

A. "She got soaked walking" - This is indeed a clause. It contains the subject "she" and the predicate "got soaked walking", with the verb phrase "got soaked" and the gerund phrase "walking."

B. "Home in the rain yesterday" - This is not a clause because it is a prepositional phrase. It functions as an adjective phrase modifying "walking" in the previous clause.

C. "Because her umbrella" - This is not a clause. It is a dependent clause fragment because it lacks a verb. It is only a subordinate clause when it is combined with a main clause, such as "she got soaked walking."

D. "Was in her gym locker" - This is a clause. It contains the subject "umbrella" and the predicate "was in her gym locker", with the verb "was" and the prepositional phrase "in her gym locker."

Therefore, your answer of "She got soaked walking" (option A) is correct. It is the clause within the sentence.
