Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A main clause is referred to as dependent clause as it gives a complete meaning and can stand alone on its own. A subordinate clause doesn't give a complete meaning in its own.

8. The tiger has stripes because it provides camouflage.

The tiger has stripes - Main clause

Because it provides camouflage - Subordinate clause

9: I like to eat lunch outside when the sun is shining .

I like to eat lunch outside - Main clause

When the sun is shining - Subordinate clause

10: As fast as she could, Sally typed on her computer.

Sally typed on her computer - Main clause

As fast as she could - Subordinate Clause
