Thanks for the explanation anud33p, but your explanation is little contradictory(there is no Independent clause), I agree that both the clauses are Dependent Clause(as you can see there are no FFANBOY), but the clause that starts with Despite already has a verb marked, while in the second clause for me I couldn't understand why Jumped is a Verb, when in doubt I always ask myself Does the Subject did the action if the answer is yes then the action is verb otherwise it is a modifier.
Does the number of United States citizens did the Jumping???
I am not sure

In 1997, despite an economy that marked its sixth full year of uninterrupted expansion with the lowest jobless rate in a quarter century, the number of United States citizens declaring themselves bankrupt has jumped by almost 20 percent, at 1.34 million.
(A) declaring themselves bankrupt has jumped by almost 20 percent, at
(B) declaring themselves bankrupt jumped by almost 20 percent, to
(C) who declared themselves bankrupt has jumped by almost 20 percent, to

(E) to declare themselves bankrupt jumped almost by 20 percent, at
Hi amanrsingh
Every sentence has to have an independent clause. There is one here too
FANBOYS do help join independent clauses but the absence of a FANBOYS conjunction DOESNOT imply that there is no independent clause. Here is how I would dissect the prompt:
In 1997,
despite an economy that marked its sixth full year of uninterrupted expansion with the lowest jobless rate in a quarter century, -> This is the dependent clause here.
the number of United States citizens declaring themselves bankrupt has jumped by almost 20 percent, at 1.34 million. -> This is the independent clause.
As for your second part, indeed, jumped refers to the number. While it is good to take every word literally, I suppose we shouldn't as much either :D It's alright to say the number shot up 10%. Surely, we don't, then, ask did the number shoot someone? Hope that helps

past event so A,C out (has jumped)
E wrong-to declare that means to happen.wrong as past event.
out of B And D
IN D their is no verb for the number of United States citizens.bkz WHO is pronoun,which needs to finish itself by a verb too,leading to no verb for" the number of United States citizens".
