here two clauses
1.he is an active boy
2.his brother is very lazy
are combining with one another
both clauses are independent of one another

A clause that cannot stand alone?
the clause that couldn't stand on its own is called: Dependent clause or Subordinating clause. example: before you leave for work today. another would be: After the long exhausting day. These two examples may contain a subject and a verb (you - subject and leave - verb [for the first example]) but this group of words is dependent clause because this group of words does not express a complete thought and it needs to be attached to a main clause or a independent clause. By the way, a clause that could stand on its own is called a main clause or an idependent clause. An example of which is "I slept for three hours." This in fact is an independent clause or a simple sentence. but if you attach the dependent clause - "After a long exhausting day." you will have a sentence that looks like this: After the long exhausting day, I slept for three hours. (this now becomes a complex sentence. It is a combination of an independent clause and a dependent clause in one sentence.
