phrase clause

Brief Explanations
A clause has a subject and a predicate (a verb and what it relates to). The bolded part "can survive for as long as two years without food" has the subject (implied or part of the context, and the verb "can survive" with its modifiers). A phrase lacks a subject - predicate structure. So it's a clause.
