The sentence that includes a dependent clause is: "I will begin writing my essay once I have made an outline."
To identify a dependent clause, we need to look for a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought on its own. In this case, the dependent clause is: "once I have made an outline." It depends on the main clause "I will begin writing my essay" to complete the thought.
