Question

Identify a dependent or subordinate clause in the following sentence:
They rested for some time when the morning arrived. [Intermediate]

• A. They rested for some time
• B. the morning arrived.
• C. They rested
• D. when the morning arrived.

Answer 1

The correct option is D when the morning arrived.

Subordinate clauses start with conjunctions or prepositions and cannot exist without the on the main clause. Here “when...arrived” is dependent on “They...time”. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
