• Although we gave a polished presentation, the company chose to work with our competitors.

Answer 1

D. Although we gave a polished presentation, the company chose to work with our competitors.

Subordination means there are two parts of a sentence one being dependent called the subordinate clause and the independent clause, called the main Clause.

"Although we gave a polished presentation" is the subordinate part since it is not a complete nor gives complete meaning alone.

"the company chose to work with our competitors" is the main Clause and makes sense alone.
