Dear student,

Here is the answer:
  • A clause contains a subject and a verb. A clause may stand alone as a complete sentence.
  • A phrase is a group of words without a subject or verb. 
1. Participating in a game. (P)                                 ​​​​​(It has a verb but no subject.)
2. The man in the park. (P)                                      (It has a subject but no verb.)
3. Even through I agreed. (C)                                   (It has both subject "I "and verb "agreed")
4. Hurried down the lane. (P)                                   (No subject only verb)
5. Leaves have fallen from the trees. (C)                 (This is a complete sentence.)
6. Hanging on the wall over the fireplace. (P)           (This contains only verb but no subject)

Regards
