Independent clauses are phrases that can stand alone as complete sentences because they express a complete thought. In your provided options, the independent clauses are:
1. **the upcoming holiday is on a Thursday**
2. **the water was flowing quickly**
The other options ("after we go to the restaurant," "before the sun rose," and "even though she was sick") are dependent clauses as they cannot stand alone and require additional information to convey a complete thought.
