Consider the following complex sentence:

Mrs. Kelley reflected that, besides flying, one thing she had neglected and would like now to have done was to learn to swim. (John Hersey, Here to Stay, 18)

a. Find the subordinating conjunction. Highlighlight that with a bright color.
b. After the subordinating conjunction, the rest of the sentence is the dependent clause. Highlight from after the subordinating conjunction, to the end, with grey.
c. The remainder of the sentence, that is not highlighted is the independent clause. Bold the subject and underline the main verb in the independent clause.

A subordinate conjunction is the word responsible for joining the subordinate clause to an independent clause in the same sentence. This subordinate clause is the part of the sentence that cannot make coherent sense, if it is alone. Meanwhile, the independent clause is the part of the sentence that manages to make sense on its own.

Based on this, you can answer your questions as follows:

A. The sentence shown above has two subordinate conjunctions which are the words "that" and "and."

B. With this, we can see that the sentence has two dependent clauses (also known as subordinate clauses), which are the clauses positioned after these conjunctions. In this case, the dependent clauses are: "besides flying, one thing she had neglected" and "she would like now to have done was to learn to swim."

C. Lastly, we can identify the independent clause which is the remaining clause: "Mrs. Kelley reflected".
