Explanation:
In the above, I have been able to underline the independent clauses.
A clause has a subject and a verb. An independent clause is known to be a clause which can give a complete thought without keeping the reader in doubt. It can stand alone as a sentence. It is different from dependent clause which cannot stand alone in a sentence and cannot give a complete thought.
