    Answer with Explanation:

    1. Highlight the subjects and the predicates.

    Sentence: Eugene was playing a make-believe baseball game while his cousin was studying her history lesson.

    Subjects:

    "Eugene" "his cousin"

    Predicates:

    "was playing a make-believe baseball game" "was studying her history lesson"

    Remember that the doer of the action is the subject while the predicate is the part of the sentence containing the action.

    2. Which is an independent clause?

    Sentence: Eugene was playing a make-believe baseball game while his cousin was studying her history lesson.

    Independent Clause:

    "Eugene was playing a make-believe baseball game"

    An independent clause is a type of clause that stands on its own. It has a subject and a predicate and has a complete thought. The sentence above is connected by a "subordinating conjunction" (while). The dependent clause is "while his cousin was studying her history lesson."
