What is the purpose of the department of state?
a. to monitor the interactions between states in the union
b. to review applications for statehood in the united states
c. to serve the president as an advising body on issues of foreign state relations
d. to promote the general welfare of the people in the united states

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.
