Answer and Explanation:
Independent clauses are clauses that express a complete idea on their own. By reading them, we can easily understand what is being said, without that feeling that something is missing. Having that in mind, we can say the following clauses are independent:
3. Some common expressions are mysterious.
5.Have you ever tried the empanadas that this restaurant is famous for?
Subordinate or dependent clauses are not able to express a complete thought by themselves. They depend on a main clause to make sense. Without the main clause, we are left with the feeling that something is missing, that the information we received is not enough. Taking that into consideration, we can say the following clauses are subordinate:
1. Because a newly married couple once drank mead, a drink made with honey.
2. When people were buried at sea.
4. Whom we met here last night.
