After I finished ordering the five-course meal
I remembered that I was supposed to be fasting
I didn't cancel my order
They are all independent clauses

Answer 1

The dependent (or subordinate) clause in the sentence is:

"After I finished ordering the five-course meal"

This clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the main clause to provide context. The other parts of the sentence are independent clauses, meaning they can stand alone as complete sentences.
