The first sentence " Faced with so many problems, I decided to get professional help.", is a Phrase, and the second sentence "She arrived to work on time in spite of leaving home so late.", is a Clause.
Explanation:
Phrase: A phrase is a type of sentence i.e. combination of words that do not combine subject and verb.
Clause: A Clause is a type of sentence that has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
1) In the first sentence, we see that there is no subject-verb agreement in this sentence,i.e. there is no grammatical concept that the subject of a sentence is aligned with the main verb of that same sentence.
Therefore, on its own, it is not a complete thought and so it can not be a Clause. Hence it is a Phrase.
2)In the second sentence, we see that it has a subject-verb agreement i.e. the subject of the sentence is aligned with the main verb of that same sentence so that is why it is a complete thought on its own so that is why it is a clause.
Hence, ''Faced with so many problems, I decided to get professional help." is a PHRASE, and ''She arrived to work on time in spite of leaving home so late'' is a CLAUSE.
