The independent clauses are the ones conveying a full meaning and/or preceded by a coordinate preposition, as opposed to the dependent ones.

Independent clauses:

  • "The seventh graders held a dance that night, and the eighth graders saw a play."
  • "Isaac Newton described the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, and he made discoveries in optics and mathematics."
  • "Nikki has learned some computer coding, but she also wants to study graphic design."
  • "The Jayhawks are a favorite in today's game, so a trip to the playoffs could be in their future."

Dependent clauses:

  • "Even though they were exhausted from their long day."
  • "To name just a few of his contributions to science."
  • "Which is being taught at the community center this winter."
  • "After a huge victory last week."

<h3>What is an independent clause?</h3>

An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate, and it can be preceded by a coordinate conjunction. The coordinate conjunctions are:

  • For
  • And
  • Nor
  • But
  • Or
  • Yet
  • So

Independent clauses convey a complete meaning or a full thought on their own, which means they can be completely understood even if alone. Example:

  • I saw a movie last night. But I didn't like it.

<h3>What is a dependent clause?</h3>

Dependent clauses do not convey a complete meaning on their own. They follow subordinate conjunctions and need a main clause to complete their meaning. Examples of subordinate conjunctions are:

  • Even though
  • After
  • Because
  • While

With the information above in mind, we can conclude the answer given above is correct.
