Answer

Independent Clauses: the cat's toy is lost, Steven will finish it, Lena has a new blogDependent Clauses: if it rains later, when the party begins, since Lena has a new blog, because Keisha is busy

Explanation

The given task asks to categorize the given clauses as either independent or dependent. Before categorizing, a understanding is needed of what are dependent and independent clauses.In English grammar, an independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and predicate. It is a sentence thats stands on its own and express a complete thought.Contrastly, a dependent clause also known as a subordinating clause, is a group of words that contains a subject and predicate but it does not express a complete thought and cannot stand on its own as a sentence.Moreover, a dependent clause often begins with a subordinating conjunction such like since, because, if, etc. Here considering the given chunks-'the cat's toy is lost', 'Steven will finish it' and 'Lena has a new blog' are Independent because standalone they make complete sense. Other chunks, i.e., 'if it rains later', 'when the party begins', 'since Lena has a new blog', 'because Keisha is busy' are Dependent Clauses as they depending upon something to make a full sense and are leading by a subordinating conjunction.
