3 is a complex sentence and has a dependent and an independent clause.
The rest are right.
There is a paragragh and I have to circle dependent clauses an underline independent clauses. The paragraph is as follows:
Although some people are afraid of ninjas, since they kill tons of people, I think they're cool. Because Ninjas have so many enemies, they live high up in trees on top of mountains. No one can reach them in their mountain tree forts unless they lower their rope ladders for them. If you tried to climb up a ninja's tree without the rope ladder, you would probably get hit with a million ninja stars. Despite their inhospitable nature, ninjas are usually really nice to children and animals.
Sentence 1-I believe that you would need to circle.
Although some people are afraid of ninjas, since they kill tons of people,
I think they're cool is the part that would need to be underlined.
Sentence 2-Because Ninjas have so many enemies is the part that would need to be circled.
they live high up in trees on top of mountains I believe would need to be underlined because I believe that is the part that is an independent clause.
Sentence 3-I do not feel that anything would need to circled or underlined.
Sentence 4-If you tried to climb up a ninja's tree without the rope ladder,
I believe the above part is dependent so it would have to be circled.
You would probably get hit with a million ninja stars-this part would be underlined because it would be independent.
Sentence 5-Despite their inhospitable nature,
I believe the above part would have to be circled because I feel it is a dependent clause.
ninjas are usually really really nice to children and animals would be underlined because that is an independent clause.
Please be so kind as to let me know if I am right or wrong on each of the sentences and point out any mistakes if any.

Hello Ms. Sue. I think I somewhat get sentence 3. The part then that I would need to circle is-unless they lower their rope ladders for them since that is a dependent clause.
The part that would be independent is-No one can reach them in their mountain tree forts.
Would that be correct?

Ms. Sue may be away for a moment, but you are correct now. :)
Thank you so very much for your time and assistance.
Have a wonderful evening!
