Answer:

Explanation:gold

Answer 2

The type of clause in the given sentence is a dependent or subordinate, relative, noun clause.

Explanation:

• The given sentence has two clauses joined by the relative pronoun whoever. This word relates the first clause with the next clause using 'whoever' and conveys a decision.
• The two clauses without the pronoun cannot convey a complete meaning on their own.
• Only when joined with appropriate conjunction or pronoun, they can make a meaningful whole sentence. Thus, it becomes a dependent or subordinate clause.
• It should agree with the verb of the clause accompanying it and together (clause with the relative pronoun) makes the subject of the whole sentence. The clause 'whoever wins the race' is the indirect object. Hence, this becomes a noun clause.
