Answer:

before

Step-by-step explanation:

This complex sentence consists of an independent clause that can stand on its own, Dolly must clean up her room, and a subordinate or dependent clause, before she goes out. In that respect, the subordinate clause is introduced with a subordinating conjunction like before and does not make sense of its own. Other subordinating conjunctions which link independent and dependent clauses are after, although and however.
