$\huge\mathrm\blue{ANSWER:}$

$\large\mathcal\pink{HIGHLIGHTED \: WORDS:}$

MAIN CLAUSE.

SUB-ORDINATING CLAUSE.

Here, the subordinate clause and the main clause are,

➡He stood and waited.

Here,

He stood = MAIN CLAUSE.

and waited = SUB-ORDINATING CLAUSE.

➡The scream still didnot come.

Here,

The scream = MAIN CLAUSE

Still didnot come = SUB-ORDINATING CLAUSE.

➡The cell door slammed.

Here,

The cell door slammed = MAIN CLAUSE.

$\large\mathbf\red{ADDITIONAL \: INFO:}$

$\huge\bf\pink{MAIN \: CLAUSE:}$

➡A main clause is a clause, that makes a sense on its own and can exist a sentence on its own with a meaning.

$\huge\bf\orange{SUB-ORDINATING \: CLAUSE:}$

➡A sub-ordinating clause is a clause, which donot make a meaningful sentence and donot exist on its own.

FOR EXAMPLE,

Let us try to differ both clauses by highlighting the sub-ordinating clause.

1. Internet shopping is very convenient today, because of the decreased rush of the people.
2. He went to the clinic, because his hands were burnt.
