Hi, I was going through a material that said in the following sentence both the clauses are Independent, hence need to be separated by a semicolon.
Tom loves his job in the corporate office; his job is challenging.
In my opinion, the second clause is dependent because it starts with "his job", which is not defined whose job is it referring to.
Tom loves his job --> independent clause
in the corporate office --> phrase
His job is challenging --> dependent clause
Pls, help me correct this !!!

Hi Gaurav, the presence of a pronoun alone (he, she, his, her etc.) does not make a clause dependent. If that were the case, all clauses using any pronoun, would be a dependent clause. But that's not necessarily the case.
Please watch our video on Independent and Dependent clauses.
p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses Independent and Dependent clauses, their application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.
