Answer
A
whenever I go to the movies
B
Samir lives on Green Street.
C
tearing through the town
D
but it’s likely to rain that day
E

Explanation

A clause has a subject and a verb. “Whenever I go to the movies” has the subject “I” and the verb “go,” even though it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. “But it’s likely to rain that day” has the subject “it” and the verb “is,” and “Samir lives on Green Street” has the subject “Samir” and the verb “lives.” The other choices are phrases without a subject and verb working together.
