Tammy: #1--a clause, not a phrase (note the subject and verb); #2--an independent clause, and don't use a semicolon before "and"; #3--yes, but check the punctuation;-)

Irena: Good--just watch the punctuation in #3.
Kelsey: #1--a phrase is more than one word;-) #s 2 and3--very good.
Janine: #1--this is a dependent clause not phrase (notice the subject and verb), and try to avoid using "now" in the sentence a second time. #2--yes, but "meanwhile" is superfluous; # 3--good.

Tammy: #1--this is still a dependent clause (subject--the orders, verb-- are); #2--good; #3--much better, but don't use a semicolon before a coordinating conjunction (but);-)
