Answer 1

subordinate clause - also called a dependent clause, will begin with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun and will contain both a subject and a verb.
Now lets look at your choices....
#2 is not it....we know just by looking, because it does not contain a subject.
#3 is not it ....does not contain a conjunction or a pronoun.
#4 is not it ...does not contain a conjunction or a pronoun.
Lets look at #1...." while " is a subordinate conjunction..." I " is the subject, and " am sure" is the verb.
So...your answer is #1 :)
