Question

Select the correct and entire subordinate clause of the sentence.

Although the assignment was given early, Joe's term paper was late.

The subordinate clause is ______.

Answer 1

"Although the assignment was given early,"

The subordinate clause is an incompleate sentence. It has a subject, it has a verb, but it cant stand alone. The ALTHOUGH is the word that sets off the clause.

Think of it this way. A way to check if it is or isnt a subordinate clause is to cover up the part of the sentence you dont think is the clause and just read the part that you do.

Although the assignment was given early, Joe's term paper was late.
Cover up the Joe's term paper was late part. Can the left over part of the sentence stand alone? No.
