Re: Need help In SC [#permalink]
Hi, my question is regarding the second independent clause in the sentence.
“The term “Eureka,” meaning “I have found it” in ancient Greek, WAS famously uttered by Archimedes, and ever since then, scientists have exclaimed the same word upon making important discoveries”
"Scientists have exclaimed the same word upon making important discoveries", is this an independent clause? If we look at it in isolation it refers to the 'same word' but the word isn't mentioned in this sentence. So can we still classify it as an independent clause?
Any help is appreciated.

Yes.

It doesn't matter that 'same word' isn't mentioned in this clause.

For example:

Peter did not score well in the exam. He was disappointed.

In this case, He was disappointed is again an independent clause; it doesn't matter that he in this independent clause refers to Peter in another clause.

You can watch our video on Independent and Dependent Clauses.
