Question

highlight all the words that make up the two independent clauses below.
tobio kageyama fed the stray puppy half his sandwich; as a result,
it followed him home from the park.

Explanation:

An independent clause has a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a sentence. The first independent clause is "Tobio Kageyama fed the stray puppy half his sandwich" (subject: Tobio Kageyama; verb: fed). The second is "it followed him home from the park" (subject: it; verb: followed). "as a result" is a transitional phrase, not part of an independent clause.

Answer:

First independent clause: Tobio Kageyama fed the stray puppy half his sandwich
Second independent clause: it followed him home from the park
