Question

Choose the sentence below that shows correct use of subordination?

A. After the last customers paid their check Gabby could finally clock out and go home. B. After the last customers paid their check, Gabby could finally clock out and go home. C. Gabby could finally clock out and go home; after the last customers paid their check. D. Gabby could finally clock out and go home, after the last customers paid their check.

Answer 1

Sentence B correctly demonstrates the use of subordination by placing a comma between the dependent clause and the independent clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that shows the correct use of subordination is B: After the last customers paid their check, Gabby could finally clock out and go home. This sentence correctly uses a comma after the dependent clause (subordinate clause) 'After the last customers paid their check', which comes before the independent clause 'Gabby could finally clock out and go home'. Subordination involves using a subordinating conjunction to link a dependent clause with an independent clause, and when the dependent clause comes first, it should be followed by a comma.
