In this scenario, the independent and dependent variables can be identified as follows:

- **Independent Variable (i)**: The number of dances Shawna plans to participate in. This is independent because it is the factor that Shawna controls or decides upon.

- **Dependent Variable (d)**: The number of costumes Shawna will require. This is dependent because it relies on the number of dances; for each dance, she needs a different costume.

Therefore, the correct identification is:

- i = the number of dances Shawna plans to participate in
- d = the number of costumes Shawna will require.
