Explanation:

Define clauses and phrases

To sort the tiles, we must distinguish between clauses and phrases. A clause is a group of words containing both a subject and a predicate (verb). A phrase is a group of words that lacks a subject, a predicate, or both. This relies on understanding Sentence Structure and identifying a Simple Subject and Predicate.

Analyze each tile

Let's evaluate each given tile:

• "Shira yawned": Contains a subject ("Shira") and a verb ("yawned"). This is a clause.
• "the old orange cat": Lacks a verb/predicate. This is a noun phrase.
• "bright red and shiny": Lacks both a subject and a verb. This is an adjective phrase.
• "I am tired today": Contains a subject ("I") and a verb ("am"). This is a clause.
• "jumped over the puddle": Lacks a subject performing the action. This is a verb phrase.

Group the tiles

Based on our analysis:

• Clauses: "Shira yawned", "I am tired today"
• Phrases: "the old orange cat", "bright red and shiny", "jumped over the puddle"
