Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The mouse while it ate the bait, did not see the cat. This is the given sentence and this is the correct version : The mouse, while it ate the bait, did not see the cat. The adverb clause is the one in italics and it should be written bewteen commas. As it has been placed bewteen the subject and the predicate for adding information, the adverb clause is between commas and it can be omitted; the meaning of the main clause will not be altered: The mouse did not see the cat.
