Answer
A
the lion roared
B
if we made pancakes for breakfast
C
whispered to me
D
the red bicycle in the driveway
E
because I lost my bracelet

Explanation

A clause has a subject and a verb. “The lion roared” has the subject “lion” and the verb “roared”; “if we made pancakes for breakfast” has the subject “we” and the verb “made”; and “because I lost my bracelet” has the subject “I” and the verb “lost.” The last two are dependent clauses, but they are still clauses. “Whispered to me” lacks a stated subject, and “the red bicycle in the driveway” has no verb.
