The two correct answers that effectively combine the sentences using a subordinating conjunction are:
1. **Although the International Astronomical Union determined that Pluto did not meet the criteria needed to be considered a planet, Pluto was downgraded to the status of a dwarf planet in 2006.**
2. **After the International Astronomical Union determined that Pluto did not meet the criteria needed to be considered a planet, Pluto was downgraded to the status of a dwarf planet in 2006.**
Both of these sentences use subordinating conjunctions ("although" and "after") to connect the two ideas.
