Is the underlined clause independent or subordinate? 

Mr. Wilets is a teacher whom we all admire.
 
 A.
independent
 
 B.
subordinate

bohotness · Answer

underlined whol we all admire

solomonzelman · Answer

to say  $\normalsize\color{blue}{      whom~~we~~all~~admire   }$  wouldn't make sense.
you are using a  $\normalsize\color{black}{     \rm noun~~clause    }$  (this blue part) without having it refer to some particular noun.

	subordinate

solomonzelman · Answer
