The correct response that involves dependent events is:
Demi picks a name at random from a box, does not return the strip, then picks another name.
In this scenario, the outcome of the second pick depends on the outcome of the first pick because the first name is not returned to the box, affecting the options available for the second pick. The other scenarios involve independent events, where the outcome of one event does not affect the other.
