Yes, the correct sentence is: "Since Maria is away in Spain, Mom said I may have her ticket to the concert." The other options are not punctuated correctly.
To determine the correct sentence, I analyzed the options based on the rules of punctuation. In this sentence, there are two independent clauses separated by a comma. The first clause is "Since Maria is away in Spain" and the second clause is "Mom said I may have her ticket to the concert."
According to the rules of punctuation, when a dependent clause comes before an independent clause, you should use a comma after the dependent clause. Therefore, the correct sentence should have a comma after the dependent clause "Since Maria is away in Brazil."
