Answer 2

Hey there!

Your answer is option A.
"Although it is usually best to ignore bad reviews, I can't help but ignore the newspaper."

This is because the adverbial phrase shows as the word "Although" (Adverbial phrases usually have the words "if" or "Although") and the independent clause shows at the end of the sentence: "I can't help but ignore the newspaper."

Final answer:
Option A.
