Answer 2

Assuming the underlined group of words is 'until the storm had passed,' the correct answer is adverb clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between a clause and a phrase is that a clause has a verb (a predicate) and a phrase does not. The group of words 'until the storm had passed' has a predicate (had passed) and therefore it is a clause rather than a phrase.
