Question

When a subordinate clause is followed by the main clause, ______ is required.

• A. Dash
• B. Semi-colon
• C. Comma
• D. Colon

Hint:

If the subordinate clause follows the main clause, a comma is usually not needed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Try: "Because he was late, the meeting started without him."
2. A comma sits right after the subordinate clause, before the main clause begins.
3. Dash, semicolon, and colon each serve a different job and don't fit this position.

The correct answer is Comma.
