Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The group of words included in the sentence is a dependent clause, which is "Because he was late." To determine this, we can identify that the words "because" and "late" are both part of the clause, and the clause functions as a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
