Question

Identify the subordinate clause in the given sentence:
We all knew that the exam would be delayed.

• A. that the exam would be delayed
• B. that the exam
• C. would be delayed
• D. We all knew

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A subordinate clause is usually introduced by conjunction and is dependent on the main clause. Here the subordinate clause is "that...delayed" dependent on "We all knew". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit the description, hence incorrect.
