Subordinate or main clause?

Try to identify which clauses can stand on their own (click Main) or those which can’t (click Subordinate). The capitals and punctuation marks have been removed to make this slightly less obvious.

In this example, %%PW,0,ARE,main clause%% which can stand on their own as sentences: %%WL,0%%. The others are subordinate clauses which have been taken out of the larger sentences they were part of.
