B. Events: A -  Neva is hungry, B - Neva  buys a snack from the concession stand. Events A nd B are dependent (Neva buys snack, because she was hungry);

C. Events: A - Ari chooses a partner for a group project, B - then Ezekial chooses a partner from the remaining classmates. Events A nd B are dependent, because Ezekial's choice depends on Ari's choice.
