Answer 2

Texting on his phone is the phrase or the dependent clause.

Explanation:

• As we all know that dependent clause or a phrase cannot construct a standalone or complete sentence. They depend on other words being added and it gets created as a full sentence.  

• An independent clause could stand alone as a sentence or it can combine with other sentences to form a compound or complex sentence.  

• A phrasal sentence generally lacks the subject. In the given sentence, ‘texting on his phone’ is a standalone sentence. Hence it is the dependent clause.
