Hello, rohitchayal. I was going to write a post about subordinate conjunctions on the test and provide some examples, but then I came across this link at a site I remember having enjoyed in the past, Grammar Bytes:
https://www.chompchomp.com/terms/subordinateconjunction.htm
The article is way more detailed that I could be in my potential post. I hope it will prove helpful to you. If you have any specific questions about subordinate conjunctions in a GMAT™ practice problem you have encountered, I would be happy to take a look at it and offer my thoughts here, in this forum.
Good luck with your studies.

Although observed by graduate student Jocelyn Bell in the summer of 1967, the discovery of the first sighted pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, had not been announced before February, 1968.
In the explanation of the above option it said somewhere that the "although" phrase is modifying discovery which is wrong, I get that.
but "although" is a subordinating conjunction; hence, the clause it follows is a subordinating clause and here it says its acting as a modifier so my question is are subordinating conjunctions modifiers i.e. they not only connect clauses of different priority but also gives additional information about the main clause and should convey related idea about the main clause?
