Archaeologists discovered that people came to the North American continent long ago possibly by crossing fifty-six miles between Asia and Alaska. While the date and details of their trip remain unknown, as nomads, they migrated during the spring and summer in search of food for their herds and camped during the winter. Eventually, they settled from the east coast to the tip of South America. Artifacts found from this era were used for hunting animals to get food and clothing.

Answer:
I got a new puppy because I have been responsible lately.
Explanation:
Subordinating conjunctions are words used to connect dependent clauses to independent clauses and express the cause-and-effect relationship or a shift in time and place between these clauses.
It's important to know what each subordinating conjunction means.
<em>Sometimes</em> is not a conjunction at all. It is an adverb.
In the second sentence, there is no conjunction.
<em>If</em> is a conjunction used to introduce the condition necessary for the event described in the independent clause to take place. The third option is incorrect because the events have already taken place. A correct option would be:<em> I will get a new puppy if I am responsible</em>.
<em>Because </em>is a conjunction used to express a cause-and-effect relationship between the subordinate and independent clause. This is the only correct option. <em>Why did I get a new puppy? </em><em>Because I have been responsible lately.</em>
