Answer:
"Simon could not buy a sheepskin coat because of a few reasons. The reasons are that the first peasant who owed him rubles was not at his hut and his wife asked Simon to come back next week.
The second peasant swore to Simon that he had no rubles to give him and he would only pay some amount for the shoes Simon had mended for him.
Then, Simon even tried getting the coat on credit, but the shopkeeper did not trust Simon enough. Therefore, Simon was unable to buy a sheepskin coat.

Answer and Explanation:
<u>What functions as a subject is not really the relative clause, but the relative pronoun - "that".</u> Relative pronouns can act as subjects or objects in the clause they introduce. Let's compare:
1. I am the only person who saw Erica.
2. I am the only person who Erica saw and recognized.
Notice that in sentence 1, "who" is the subject of the clause "saw Erica". However, in sentence 2, "who" is the object. The subject of the verb "saw" now is "Erica".
<u>The same happens in the clause "that was hurt before". The relative pronoun "that" - which is substituting the noun "ankle" - is the subject of the clause "was hurt before". Therefore, we can say its noun function is the subject.</u>
