Read each sentence and determine whether the underlined clause is independent or subordinate. 1. Graphology, which is the study of handwriting, has existed for many years. (1 point) independent subordinate (Which is the study of handwriting)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is subordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, "which is the study of handwriting" is a subordinate clause. If it were independent, it would make sense if it was just by itself. But because it needs what comes before and after it in order to make sense, it is a subordinate clause.
