Which of these sentence contains a subordinate clause? a) the poem that i read in class is by maya angelou. b) the maple tree in the back yard grew to be quite tall. c) working the early morning shift can be very exhausting. d) the red cardinal stood out against the white snow and the black barn.

The correct answer is option A) The poem that I read in class is by Maya Angelou.

Explanation:

Let's start by clarifying what it is a subordinate clause.

A subordinate clause is that part of a sentence that if we wrote alone would not make sense. It is something we use to link an idea into a sentence.

All subordinate clauses must have a subject and a verb.

To make it clearer let's look at the example:

The poem that I read in class is by Maya Angelou.

In this case, "that I read" is a relative pronoun (which is part of the subordinate clauses) and which serves to link the subject with an idea: that I read in class.

If we only wrote a sentence that says "that I read in class is by Maya Angelou" the sentence would not make sense and something would be missing.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

the nation will get back everything that was lost
