Question

wonder why Tom is absent. pick out the clause and state its kind​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A noun clause is a dependent clause that functions as a noun. It usually begins with what, whatever, whom, that and other such relative pronouns. A noun clause can act as a subject, object, predicate nominative or object of a preposition, in a sentence.

A verb complement is a word, a phrase or a clause that is added to the verb to complete its meaning.

The noun clause "whether I will get selected" is a verb complement; the verb "wonder" makes no sense if it isn't followed by a word that complements it. The noun clause in A functions as a verb complement, hence it is correct.

Option B is incorrect because the verb "wonder" is an intransitive verb, i.e., a verb that does not require an object.

Option C is incorrect because it is neither the noun clause nor the subject; "I" is the subject and a noun clause cannot contain the main verb (wonder).

Option D is incorrect because it is a part of the noun clause, which is a verb complement. Also, the predicate includes the main verb (wonder) which isn't in this option.
