4 He took over the place of leading score in the NBA./He supplanted BRYANT as the leading scorer in the NBA./He overtook BYRANT to become/as the leading score in the NBA.
5 The point of this game is to vote for the best danser and to do that, the panel of judges select a video that the dancer will dance to and their moves have to be as closely matched to the artist's dance moves in the clip. The cadidate that copies the artist the best wins.

Number one contains a subordinate clause. In the example, the clause needs to be closed by a comma at the end, as it was opened with one at the beginning. A subordinate clause contains a subject and a verb, but always begins with a subordinating conjunction (although, because, if, and so on) or a relative pronoun (who, which, that).

- Note, were the relative pronoun "who" deleted, the example would stand as a sentence.
- As it is, the inclusion of "who" has created subordinate clause, which also may be called an adjective clause in this sentence, meaning that it functions to add descriptive information to the sentence.

Thank you Ed for the explanation,
Could you let me know what you think of the other 3, and please don't go to the trouble of writing a paragraph. I don't want you spend a half hour on it.
Thank you so much for the answer
