independent and dependnt question.

Which of the following pairs are NOT independent events?

Flipping a coin and getting a head, then flipping a coin and getting a tail
Throwing a die and getting a 6, then throwing a die and getting a 5
Selecting a red marble from a bag, returning the marble to the bag, then selecting a blue marble
Drawing a spade from a set of poker cards, setting the card aside, then selecting a diamond from the set of poker cards
All of the above are independent events
 
Wouldn't this be..
Drawing a spade from a set of poker cards, setting the card aside, then selecting a diamond from the set of poker cards
