A dependent clause is when a clause seems to be incomplete or needs a certain OOMPH to actually make sense.
Because he's so good at playing piano, Steven was asked to play at the concert next month
Independent Clause:
Steven was asked to play at the concert next month.
Dependent Clause:
Because he's so good at playing piano.
What happens if he's good at playing piano? Who's HE, in this sentence. This dependent clause would need to be supported by something else.
So the answer would be A.

To intensify the dependent clause in the sentence "Because he's so good at playing piano, Steven was asked to play at the concert next month," you can isolate the dependent clause by removing the rest of the sentence. The dependent clause in this case is "Because he's so good at playing piano."
Next, you can intensify this dependent clause by adding more descriptive or expressive language to it. For example, you could say:
* "Due to his exceptional piano skills, Steven was asked to play at the concert next month."
* "Given his incredible talent for playing piano, Steven was asked to perform at the concert next month."
* "Because of his unrivaled proficiency on the piano, Steven received an invitation to play at the concert next month."
These intensifications add more emphasis and detail to the initial dependent clause, making it more impactful and engaging to the reader.
