Question

What type of clause is this statement “whoever wins the race "​

Answer 1

Unlike the response of Ahamit68 which is convoluted, incoherent, and partially incorrect, the simple, correct answer is...

It is a dependent clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why so? Although it contains a subject and a verb, it does not express a complete thought, so it is not a sentence and can't stand alone.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of subordinate, or independent, clauses: adjective, adverb, and noun. Remember that a subordinate clause has a subject and a verb, but it does not express a complete thought. In other words, it cannot stand alone-it is dependent.

The noun clause is a clause that functions like a noun in the sentence. Remember that a noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns can function as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, object of the preposition, and predicate nominatives.
