Explanation:

An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, having a subject and a predicate. In the given sentence, "Monica Rambeau loved wearing cozy sweaters and boots in winter" has the subject "Monica Rambeau" and the predicate "loved wearing cozy sweaters and boots in winter", so it's an independent clause. Similarly, "she couldn't wait for the first snowstorm" has the subject "she" and the predicate "couldn't wait for the first snowstorm", making it another independent clause.

Answer:

The two independent clauses are: "Monica Rambeau loved wearing cozy sweaters and boots in winter" and "she couldn't wait for the first snowstorm".
