The sentence "She smiled as she opened the package" includes a dependent clause.
The sentence that includes a dependent clause is: "She smiled as she opened the package."
To identify a dependent clause, you need to find a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought on its own. In this sentence, "as she opened the package" is the dependent clause because it does not make sense on its own and depends on the main clause "She smiled."
