Question

Choose whether the following is True or False:
The underlined clause is an expansion of the phrase 'that we make the cookies quickly'-
I suggested making the cookies quickly. [Intermediate]

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

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.
While expanding a noun phrase to noun clause, a subject and a verb must be added.
The underlined words form a phrase, it does not have a subject nor a verb, hence it is not a clause. The words "that we make the cookies quickly" in fact form a clause.
Hence the statement is false and option B is correct, A is incorrect.
