Think about WHERE each clause is placed in relation to the verb of the sentence.
BEFORE the verb? It's probably a subject.
#3 -- yes, it's the subject.
AFTER the verb? It's probably a direct object (if the verb is an action verb) or a predicate nominative (if the verb is a linking verb).
#2 = ??
English depends a great deal on WORD ORDER (the order of the words in a sentence) for meaning.
