Answer:
The St. Louis Cardinals have a rich history of success, although their offense this year was awful.
Explanation:
The two sentences are expressing contrasting ideas. The first sentence offers a type of compliment to the St. Louis Cardinals. If they have a rich history of success, however, we would not expect the criticism that comes in the second sentence. We are surprised to hear that their offense was awful this year.
<u>To help express such contrast and, at the same time, make the second sentence a subordinate clause, we should choose an appropriate subordinating conjunction. The conjunctions that can help us do that are "though", "even though", and "although", among others. Therefore:</u>
The St. Louis Cardinals have a rich history of success, although their offense this year was awful.
NOTE: We may be tempted to use "but" instead of "although". We need to keep in mind that "but" is a coordinating conjunction, not a subordinating one. That is why it cannot be used here.

In writing/literature, things can be said in one of two ways—literally and figuratively. To say something literally, naturally, one means exactly what the words say. When one says something figuratively, one does not mean exactly what is written for the sake of conveying a meaning that is engaging to readers by manner of personification, hyperbole, metaphor, simile, etc. That said, when we read option “B,” we know the author does not literally mean there is dust settling or that anyone will be dead. What is meant is that when tensions subside she will be in a lot of trouble.
