Are there any more clauses in the sentences that I may have overlooked?

Right.

Are there any more clauses in the sentences that I may have overlooked?

I don't see any.

Oh. Alright. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Great job! Your answers are correct.

Just to explain further, let's break down the explanation for each question:

1. When he discovered the data were corrupt, Swift knew he had to do something.
- The clause "When he discovered the data were corrupt" is an adverb clause because it modifies the verb "knew" and answers the question "When?"

2. Henderson believed that any Multivac provided was unreliable.
- The clause "that any Multivac provided" is a noun clause because it functions as the object of the verb "believed" and it acts as a noun by replacing the object that Henderson believed.

3. The men thought Multivac had made the big decision until each revealed his secrets.
- The clause "until each revealed his secrets" is an adverb clause because it modifies the verb "thought" and answers the question "until what happened?"

4. They all behaved as if the computer had made the decisions.
- The clause "as if the computer had made the decisions" is an adverb clause because it modifies the verb "behaved" and answers the question "how did they behave?"

5. Whatever Swift's coin toss decided was inevitable now.
- The clause "Whatever Swift's coin toss decided" is a noun clause because it functions as the subject of the sentence and acts as a noun by replacing the subject of the sentence.

For the next part, you effectively transformed the given sentences into adverb clauses by using subordinating conjunctions:

1. When the word processor was fixed, he typed his essay.
- By using the subordinating conjunction "when," you connected the two sentences, and now the first sentence functions as an adverb clause modifying the verb "typed" in the second sentence.

2. The basement floods whenever it rains.
- By using the subordinating conjunction "whenever," you connected the two sentences, and now the second sentence functions as an adverb clause modifying the verb "floods" in the first sentence.

3. Jennifer plans to stay until the project is finished.
- By using the subordinating conjunction "until," you connected the two sentences, and now the second sentence functions as an adverb clause modifying the verb "plans" in the first sentence.
