1. She needed to make a decision, yet Sal was so tired.
2. She needed to make a decision, and Sal was so tired.
3. So Sal was tired, and she needed to make a decision.****
4. Even though Sal was tired, she needed to make a decision.

Ok thank you
You're welcome.
To determine the correct revision that combines sentences 5 and 6 using a subordinating conjunction, we need to first identify the subordinating conjunctions.
A subordinating conjunction is a type of conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause, which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Common subordinating conjunctions include "because," "although," "since," "if," "when," "while," and "after," among others.
Let's analyze the given options:
1. "She needed to make a decision, yet Sal was so tired." - This option uses the coordinating conjunction "yet," which does not make these sentences subordinate to each other.
2. "She needed to make a decision, and Sal was so tired." - This option uses the coordinating conjunction "and," which also doesn't create a subordinate relationship between the sentences.
3. "So Sal was tired, and she needed to make a decision." - This option does not use a subordinating conjunction to combine the sentences. Instead, it uses the coordinating conjunction "and."
4. "Even though Sal was tired, she needed to make a decision." - This option uses the subordinating conjunction "even though" to introduce the subordinate clause, which makes it the correct choice.
Therefore, the correct revision that combines sentences 5 and 6 using a subordinating conjunction is: "Even though Sal was tired, she needed to make a decision."
