highlight all the words that make up the two independent clauses below.
donatello jumped into the lake with his clothes on, and i dove in after him.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence, having a subject and a predicate. In the sentence "Donatello jumped into the lake with his clothes on, and I dove in after him", the first independent clause is "Donatello jumped into the lake with his clothes on" as it has a subject "Donatello" and a predicate "jumped into the lake with his clothes on". The second independent clause is "I dove in after him" with subject "I" and predicate "dove in after him".

Answer:

"Donatello jumped into the lake with his clothes on" and "I dove in after him"
