Question

Identify the dependent/subordinate clause in the following sentence:
Even though the salad was covered in feta cheese, Edward did not eat it. [Advanced]

• A. salad was covered in feta cheese
• B. Edward did not eat it.
• C. Even though the salad was covered in feta cheese
• D. was covered in feta cheese

Answer 1

The correct option is C Even though the salad was covered in feta cheese

Subordinate clauses start with conjunctions or prepositions and cannot exist without the on the main clause. Here “even...cheese” is dependent on “Edward...it”. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
