<u>Explanation:</u>
An independent clause refers to a group of words (found in a sentence) that contains both a subject and a predicate. And <em>the predicate of a sentence</em> is simply a verb explaining what the subject does.
Therefore, here are all the words that make up the two independent clauses below:
Subject = <em>Erik Killmonger</em>
Predicate = signed up for knitting lessons; (he) <u>wanted to make his own sweaters.</u>
1 "you said earlier that you like and support the use of fossil fuels, you baby killer"
2 "what? that makes no sense"
1 "yeah it does, baby killer"
2 "me supporting the usage of fossil fuels, does not support the idea that i am a baby killer"
1 "yeah well, it doesn't go against it either,"
2 "okay, but you used an irrelevant piece of reasoning to try and support the statement that 'I am a baby killer' "
The sentence that uses both a participial an an infinitive phrase is 3. Annoying me into a rude awakening, the alarm continued to buzz loudly in my ear.
The participial phrase is <em>annoying me into a rude awakening, </em>and the infinitive phrase is <em>to buzz loudly in my ear.</em>
