Question

Noun clauses come after the sentence's main clause, which has its own subject and verb, and are always introduced by QUE. What function do noun clauses typically serve in a sentence?

a) They express strong emotions
b) They act as the subject or object of a sentence
c) They convey probability
d) They provide additional information about a verb

Answer 1

The correct answer is option b. Noun clauses typically serve as the subject or object of a sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Noun clauses typically serve as the subject or object of a sentence. They can function as the subject of a verb, like in the sentence 'That she loves to sing is well known.' Here, the noun clause 'That she loves to sing' is the subject of the main verb 'is.' Noun clauses can also act as the object of a verb, like in the sentence 'I know what she wants for her birthday.' Here, the noun clause 'what she wants' is the object of the verb 'know.'

Therefore, option b) 'They act as the subject or object of a sentence' is the correct answer.
