Question

The comma should follow the independent clause if the clause begins with a subordinating conjunction.

The comma should follow the dependent clause if the clause begins with a subordinating conjunction.

The comma should follow the subordinating conjunction if the independent clause begins the sentence.

The comma should follow the subordinating conjunction if the dependent clause begins the sentence.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

The comma should follow the independent clause if the clause begins with a subordinating conjunction.

This means that when a sentence starts with a subordinating conjunction followed by a dependent clause, and then an independent clause follows it, you should place a comma after the dependent clause. Conversely, if the independent clause comes first, there would be no comma before the subordinating conjunction.
