Key Points
- The sentence consists of two clauses: "After the storm had passed" and "the sun came out".
- When a dependent clause (like "After the storm had passed") comes before an independent clause (like "the sun came out"), a comma should be used to separate them.
- Thus, the correct punctuation is: After the storm had passed, the sun came out.
- Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1.'
Correct sentence: After the storm had passed, the sun came out.
