Answer» "As if she were MAD" is the SUBORDINATE clauseExplanation: Subordinate CLAUSES are USED to add more information to sentences, but it cannot stand as a sentence. It can come at various points in a sentence. Like all clauses, a subordinate clause has a subject and verb. There are three types of subordinate clauses: adjective, adverb, and noun. Example: Although I was scared, I crept inside. The GIRL, who was eight, ran. Given sentence: she talks as if she were mad Main clause: She talks. Subordinate clause = As if she were mad. Subordinate conjunction = As if. Here, the subordinate clause comes at the end of the sentence. Since this subordinate clause modifies a verb, talk, this is an adverb subordinate clause.
