A sentence that includes a dependent clause is: "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a hike."

In this sentence, "Although it was raining" is the dependent clause, as it cannot stand alone and depends on the main clause "we decided to go for a hike" to provide complete meaning.

The sentence that includes a dependent clause is: **"she smiled as she opened the package."**

In this case, "as she opened the package" is the dependent clause, as it cannot stand alone and relies on the main clause "she smiled" to convey complete meaning.

Yes, I am sure. The sentence **"she smiled as she opened the package"** does include a dependent clause.

In this sentence, "as she opened the package" is a dependent (or subordinate) clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence; it relies on the main clause "she smiled" to provide full context and meaning.
