3.the group of the student started walking towards the school
4. The match won't start until the rain stops

The end​

Answer 1

There's nothing underlined, but I'm going to assume the only phrases and clauses in each sentence.

1. Clause

2. Phrase

3. Phrase

4. Clause

5. Phrase

Step-by-step explanation:

A clause is a group of words with a subject and predicate. A phrase is a group of words lacking either subject or predicate or both. For number 1, "Mr. Awashi is leaving" has a subject (Mr. Awashi) and predicate (is leaving). In number 2, the phrase "for lunch" or "after the game" both lack predicates. In number 3, "towards the school" doesn't have a predicate either, In number 4, "until the rain stops" has a subject (rain) and predicate (stops). In number 5, "to this question" again doesn't have a predicate.
