2. A verb phrase is a syntactic unit consisting of an auxiliary (helper) verb preceding the main verb. There is no auxiliary verb in this sentence, so it's not a verb phrase.

3. An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. "Guary favors the color red over blue" fits this definition because "Guary" is the subject, "favors" is the verb, and the sentence expresses a complete thought.
