  2. She told me she was hungry but wouldn’t eat more.
  3. She is hungry but she’s not going to eat.
  4. She said she is feeling hungry, but she is not going to eat.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

“Although she is hungry, she is not going to eat.” is correct. A dependent clause begins with words such as although, since, if, when, and because. A dependent clause cannot stand on its own, so it may also be referred to as a “weak” clause.

A comma is the correct answer. In this sentence, the word “after” is a common starter word for the introductory clause and should be followed by a comma. A clause is a group of words that contain both a subject and a predicate and help to form a sentence. Other common starter words that require a comma after the introductory clause include when, while, although, and since.
