Answer:
Independent clause.
Explanation:
A independent clause contains at least one subject & one verb. They are stand alone and can be known as a simple sentence.
In this case, both a subject & verb is provided.
Subject: A subject of a sentence is typically described as the person, place or thing.
Verb: A verb of a sentence is typically described as the action taken by the said subject.

The Verb is dripped (past tense action of dripping).

Answer:
Independent clause.
Explanation:
The sentence, "The faucet dripped," works as a complete thought as it has a verb and a noun (subject). Dripped is the past participle of drip. So in order for something to be a dependent clause, it would have to be an incomplete thought meaning that it cannot be on it's own in a sentence or otherwise, it obviously isn't a sentence.
A dependent clause usually starts in the beginning and is then completed by another part of the sentence.
It overall just sounds wrong and incomplete.
