The two independent clauses in the following compound-complex sentence are.

  • The production manager supported the changes.
  • He expected the process to work smoothly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound sentence and complex sentence together makes a compound- complex sentence. A Clause is a sentence which has one subject or one verb.

The independent clause is a sentence which does not need a supportive sentence to explain it's situation and it makes a statement or asks a question.

And dependent clause is a sentence which begins with when, because, if etc. Therefore, the independent caluses will be the above given two sentences as they are statements and do not need a supportive statement.
