Question

identify the sentence that uses a noun clause as the subject of a sentence. (1 point)
the boss will consider who you recommend for the job.
i dont understand why they wont tell us the truth.
our next errand is to make a stop at the post office
what the story will be about is going to be a surprise.

Explanation:

To identify a noun clause as the subject, we analyze each option:

• First option: "who you recommend for the job" is a noun clause, but it's the object of "consider", not the subject.
• Second option: "why they won't tell us the truth" is a noun clause, but it's the object of "understand", not the subject.
• Third option: "Our next errand" is a noun phrase (subject), and "to make a stop at the post office" is an infinitive phrase (predicate nominative), no noun clause as subject.
• Fourth option: "What the story will be about" is a noun clause, and it functions as the subject of the sentence ("is going to be a surprise" is the predicate).

Answer:

D. What the story will be about is going to be a surprise.
