Explanation:

2. For "Tamika, my older sister, is an engineer": The phrase "my older sister" provides information about who Tamika is, so it matches "describes who someone is".
3. For "In the backyard, we set up all the decorations": The phrase "In the backyard" tells the place where the action (setting up decorations) happened, so it matches "describes where something is happening".

Answer:

• "After midnight, we shared some birthday cake" → "describes when something is happening"
• "Tamika, my older sister, is an engineer" → "describes who someone is"
• "In the backyard, we set up all the decorations" → "describes where something is happening"
