Explanation:

To determine independent events, we check if one event's occurrence doesn't affect the other.

• For "Neva is hungry and she buys a snack": Hunger likely causes buying a snack (dependent).
• For "Ari chooses a partner and then Ezekial...": Ari's choice reduces remaining classmates, affecting Ezekial's choice (dependent).
• For "Luka paints and stains his shirt": Painting increases the chance of staining (dependent).
• For "The school play opens tonight and it is raining": The play opening has no effect on rain, and rain has no effect on the play opening (independent).
