Here's why:
* Independent Clause: A clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. It has a subject (sentences) and a verb (are) and expresses a complete thought.
* Dependent Clause: A clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on an independent clause for its meaning.
In this case, "hooray" is an interjection, which is not a clause. The clause "these sentences are not very difficult yet" expresses a complete thought and can stand alone, making it an independent clause.
