C) The boys entered the school building and went their separate ways. D) The clown who wore the bright red suit was the best one in the circus.

Answer 1

D is the correct option because I think the clown who wore the bright red suit is the subordinate clause

Answer 2

Answer:

D) The clown who wore the bright red suit was the best one in the circus.

Explanation:

A subordinate clause is the words or groups of words that add details in a sentence but not really capable of being independently taken as a full sentence. A subordinate clause is identified by the 'conjunction' which starts the clause. And this clause is always dependent on the major or main clause.

So, the sentence containing a subordinate clause is the option D.

The clown who wore the bright red suit was the best one in the circus.

The subordinate clause is "who wore the bright red suit", starting the clause with the conjunction 'who' and also depending on the main clause for the full effect of the sentence.
