Answer 1

Answer:

The entire subordinate clause of the sentence is the following one: "If you want to attend the college of your choice (...)"

Explanation:

The sentence above is a complex sentence since it contains one independent clause and one dependent clause.  The subordinate clause is the one introduced by if. As dependent clauses cannot stand on their own, you can prove that this the subordinate clause in the sentence by using it as a main clause. If the resulting sentence is ungrammatical, then the if clause is the subordinate clause of the sentence (a). As opposed to A, B can stand on its own because it represents a complete thought, it does not depend on the subordinate clause to complete its meaning.

a) *If you want to attend the college of your choice

b) You must star researching now

Answer 2

The subordinate clause is "you must start researching now"
