Answer:

"And whenever a grammar book comes my way,"

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the subordinate clause because it stands alone and cannot be a sentence without the other clauses.

Answer:

"and whenever a grammar book comes my way"

Step-by-step explanation:

This clause can't work as a sentence, meanwhile "The magic has endured," and "I instantly turn to the last page to enjoy a forbidden glimpse of the laborious student's future," both work as single simple sentences.
