Explanation:

A subordinating conjunction connects an independent clause and a dependent clause. In the poem, the speaker has experiences like being in a dangerous situation (related to sniper, Viet Cong) and then a contrasting situation (back in San Francisco). We can use a subordinating conjunction like "when" to show the relationship between these events. For example, we can create a sentence that shows the time - related or cause - effect (in a broad sense) relationship between the dangerous event and a subsequent event.

Answer:

When the grass swayed seconds before the Viet Cong raised his soundless rifle, it was as if a warning was given, and thanks to the tree that was between me and a sniper's bullet, I had a moment of relative safety.
