highlight all the words that make up the two independent clauses below
rocket has never played a musical instrument in his life; nevertheless, he decided to sign up for jazz band.

Explanation:

An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. In the given text, "Rocket has never played a musical instrument in his life" is one independent clause as it has a subject (Rocket) and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. "he decided to sign up for jazz band" is the second independent clause, also having a subject (he) and a predicate and being a complete thought.

Answer:

"Rocket has never played a musical instrument in his life"; "he decided to sign up for jazz band"
