Answer:

Subordinate clause: "victims of their foolish belief that they could outsmart the law".

Clause type: Adjective clause.

Explanation:

The clause chosen above as the subordinate one is understood as the second idea for the sentence directly linked to the first main clause. It is an adjective clause because the adjective "foolish" mainly controls the meaning of the subordinate clause by the explanation of why and how they got to go behind bars so soon. It is also important to highlight that there is no adverb explicit in the second clause, only in the first one by the use of "soon", which is not the case here, anyways.

Answer:

Subordinate clause: "that they could outsmart the law"

Clause type: Adjective clause

Explanation:

A subordinate or dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb that does not express a complete thought on its own, and therefore it cannot stand by itself: it needs to depend on another clause to have meaning. In a sentence, this type of clause may function as an adjective, an adverb or as a noun.

As an adjective clause, it describes, modifies or adds further information to another noun; and always begins whether with a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, that, or which) or a relative adverb (when, where, or why).

In the sentence, "that they could outsmart the law" is a subordinate clause because it has a subject (they) and a verb (outsmart) and it can not express a complete thought. Furthermore, it is also an adjective clause because it begins with the relative pronoun "that" and it describes the noun "belief". What belief did they have? "that they could outsmart the law."

N AfD election poster in Berlin says "Stop Islamisation"
The nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) has grown rapidly since it was formed in 2013 and is now the biggest opposition party in the Bundestag (national parliament), with 89 seats.

Founded in 2013 as an anti-euro party, it has shifted its focus to immigration and Islam and is increasingly seen as far-right in tone.

line
Is it far-right?

Yes. It may not have started out as a far-right party but it soon embraced far-right policies and many of its leaders have espoused far-right rhetoric.

AfD co-chairman Alexander Alexander Gauland has talked of fighting an "invasion of foreigners" and the party openly focuses on Islam and migration, seeing Islam as alien to German society. Some of the party's rhetoric has been tinged with Nazi overtones.

The AfD sits in the same political family as France's far-right National Front and Austria's far-right Freedom Party - as well as the populist, anti-Islam Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders. Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK's anti-EU party Ukip, took part in their 2017 election campaign.
