Explanation

An independent clause has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. “It went over the fence,” “they climbed the ladder,” and “they ran a half-mile race” each meet those requirements. “To the moon” is a phrase, while “who wanted a new car” and “whose job it is” are dependent clauses that cannot stand alone.
