Identify the number of independent and subordinate clauses in the following group of words. before samantha can take her driving test one subordinate clause only one independent clause and one subordinate clause two independent clauses one independent clause only

One subordinate clause

Explanation:

A subordinate clause is a clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb) that does not express a complete thought on its own, and therefore it cannot stand on its own, or be alone as a sentence. Before Samantha can take her driving test a subordinate clause because it is incomplete, it does not express a complete thought on its own.

Furthermore, we can also identify it as a subordinate clause because it is introduced by a coordinating conjunction: before.
