Question

Identify the subordinate clause in the given sentence:
Wilber acted as though he were a born actor.

• A. Wilber acted
• B. as though
• C. as though he were a born actor
• D. Wilber acted as though

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

as though he were a born actor

A subordinate clause is usually introduced by a conjunction and is dependent on the main clause. Here the subordinate clause is "as...actor" dependent on "Wilbur acted". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit the description, hence incorrect.
