Answer 1

Answer:

Alyssa is graduating next year, and so is my sister. We're leaving soon, so you'd better hurry if you want to go with us.

Explanation:

As you know independent clauses are basically phrases of a sentence that can stand by themselves while dependant clauses rely on the independent clauses to make sense. In this case, the dependant clauses are "and so is my sister" and "so you'd better hurry if you want to go with us" since by their selves, these phrases don't make sense.
