Select the version of the compound-complex sentence that has the dependent clause in the correct place. Choose the best answer.

The clause “because we wanted to hear him sing” gives the reason Miguel downloaded the music, so it belongs directly after that action. Choice B also joins the two independent clauses with “but”: Miguel downloaded the music for that reason, but the stereo was broken. In A, C, and D, the reason clause is attached to the stereo being broken, which changes the meaning.
