Answer 1

Uncle Charlie when he was told about the escaped fleas broke out in a blush.

comma between fleas and broke out? yes, but you need one more comma in that sentence

independen clause = broke out in a blush? Nope! That's the verb part of the independent clause, but what's the subject? Who/What was doing the breaking out?

And what is the dependent clause?

-------------------------------
As the team drove away Sarah who was forgetful realized she had left the team's fuzzy golden trophy behind.

comma between: away,sarah and fuzzy, golden Yes, but you need one more comma in this sentence.
What's the independent clause?

dependent clause: As the team drove away Yes, that is one of them, but there are two more.

Answer 2

Independent clause - Sarah who was forgetful
The rest are dependent clauses.

Answer 3

Could this be a sentence on its own? Sarah who was forgetful

To be an independent clause, it must be able to be a sentence by itself.
