Explanation:

A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence and relies on an independent clause. In the sentence "While James Rhodes grilled hamburgers, I made a salad," the clause starting with "While" (While James Rhodes grilled hamburgers) is dependent because it needs the independent clause ("I made a salad") to complete its meaning. The word "While" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces the dependent clause.

Answer:

While James Rhodes grilled hamburgers
