To determine which sentence includes a dependent clause, we need to understand what a dependent clause is. A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

Let's analyze each option:

A. "It was a fancy hat!" - This sentence does not include a dependent clause because it is a complete sentence with a subject ("it") and a verb ("was").

B. "She smiled as she opened the package." - This sentence includes a dependent clause: "as she opened the package." This clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it relies on the main clause ("She smiled") to provide the complete meaning.

C. "Today is her 16th birthday." - This sentence does not include a dependent clause because it is a complete sentence with a subject ("Today") and a verb ("is").

D. "The package was heavy." - This sentence does not include a dependent clause because it is a complete sentence with a subject ("The package") and a verb ("was").

Based on this analysis, the sentence that includes a dependent clause is option B: "She smiled as she opened the package."
