Explanation:

1. A subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and starts with a subordinating conjunction. "When tectonic plates shift" meets this criteria.
2. Coordinating conjunctions connect equal grammatical elements; the seven common ones are the FANBOYS set.
3. An infinitive phrase starts with "to" + verb, and here it explains the purpose of the verb "called", acting as an adverb.
4. "Intimated" means to suggest something indirectly, so the synonym is the matching option.
5. Indicative mood states a fact, interrogative asks a question, imperative gives a command/request.

Answer:

1. A
2. for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
3. Infinitive phrase: to renew our subscriptions
