She talks as if she were mad. (Choose the Subordinate Clause) *a) She talksb) as ifc) as if she were madd) she were mad​

Answer»

"As if she were MAD" is the SUBORDINATE clause

Explanation:

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.

Option C is the answer.
