What is the correct punctuation for the sentence?

After the storm had passed the sun came out

The correct answer is Option 1)

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.

Additional Information

• Commas are often used to improve the readability of sentences by separating clauses and phrases.
