Answer:
"when King Charles I of England tried to change the Scottish church" is a dependent clause
"revolting against oppressive rulers" is a gerund phrase
"to restrict the monarch's power" is an infinitive phrase
"so they revolted in an attempt to preserve their identity" is an independent clause
"Under such a government." is a prepositional phrase
Explanation:
An independent clause is also known as a main clause. The clause "so they revolted in an attempt to preserve their identity" is independent because it expresses a complete idea. A dependent clause has a subject and a predicate, but it cannot stand alone as a complete idea. The clause "when King Charles I of England tried to change the Scottish church" is dependent. A gerund phrase is the –ing form of a verb that functions as a noun. The phrase "revolting against oppressive rulers" is a gerund phrase. It functions as the direct object of the verb "began." An infinitive phrase consists of "to" plus a verb, as well as any objects or modifiers. Infinitives function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. The phrase "to restrict the monarch's power" is an infinitive phrase. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and an object (as well as modifiers). Prepositional phrases function as adjectives or as adverbs. The phrase "Under such a government" is a prepositional phrase.
