Answer 1

The difference between a subordinate clause and an independent clause is that the independent clause can stand by itself. If you go back and look at the examples you have provided (your homework?) read each of the clauses separately, and see which make sense when they stand alone. Those are independent clauses. If they depend on another clause, statement etc. to make sense, then they are subordinate clauses.
Now, have a look at your sentences, read the clauses out loud, and you'll be done in no time. AND you'll know how to do it when exam time comes around.

Answer 2

an independent clause is simply a fancy way to say "a complete sentence" so the independent clause is the part of your sentence that could stand alone. for example #1. Frank will be busy because he is studying. If you took the first part of your sentence "Frank will be busy" and didn't add anything else it would still be a complete sentence. It's called the independent clause because it could hold up on it's own--it's INDEPENDENT. If you took the second part "because he is studying" you would need something else to make it a complete sentence...because he is studying, what happens? In my class we call them dependent clauses, but it means the same as subordinate clauses. They DEPEND on something else to make them a complete sentence. Example number 2 "I have only one hour that I can spare" If you split it into "I only have one hour" and "that I can spare" the one that is the complete sentence (I only have one hour) is the independent clause and the one that needs more information to make it complete (that i can spare) is the subordinate. Just split your sentences and figure out which one is the indep. clause. the other has to be subordinate. hope this helps!

Answer 3

a subordinate clause cant stand on my own and a self reliant clause can so basically, a subordinate clase dosnt provide an entire concept, working example max become scared as a results of fact. that sentence dosnt provide you an entire concept u opt for to be attentive to why max become nevertheless scared. and self reliant clause is like max become scared as a results of fact he observed a monster. it fairly is an entire concept.
