2. my brother, an avid outdoor enthusiast, bought me a new fishing pole.
3. my friend is the type of person who never listens to advice.
4. although i have never gone sailing, i have always loved boats.

Explanation:

Sentence 11: "Hungry and tired, I went home after the basketball game."

• Phrases (circled): "Hungry and tired", "after the basketball game"
• Independent clause (bracketed): [I went home]
• Dependent clause: None (the prepositional phrase "after the basketball game" is not a clause; "Hungry and tired" is a phrase)

Sentence 12: "My brother, an avid outdoor enthusiast, bought me a new fishing pole."

• Phrases (circled): "an avid outdoor enthusiast"
• Independent clause (bracketed): [My brother, an avid outdoor enthusiast, bought me a new fishing pole]
• Dependent clause: None (the circled part is a phrase)

Sentence 13: "My friend is the type of person who never listens to advice."

• Relative clause (boxed): \boxed{who never listens to advice}
• Independent clause (bracketed): [My friend is the type of person]
• Dependent clause (underlined): \underline{who never listens to advice} (this is also the relative clause)

Sentence 14: "Although I have never gone sailing, I have always loved boats."

• Dependent clause (underlined): \underline{Although I have never gone sailing}
• Independent clause (bracketed): [I have always loved boats]

(Note: For circling phrases, you would physically draw circles around "Hungry and tired", "after the basketball game", and "an avid outdoor enthusiast" in the original sentences. The formatting above uses text labels to indicate which parts belong to each category.)
